[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]This discussion about NOVA students and difficulty with getting into in state schools reminds me of what's going on in California now (I have family out there).  With the budget shortfalls, universities are having to cut enrollment drastically.  Middling schools are now only accepting 25%-50% of applicants, so California students are flocking to colleges in Arizona and Oregon.[/quote]
Does that mean that the CA colleges are more likely to accept out of state applicants who will pay OOS tuition? This would be welcome news in our house b/c DD is dying to go to USC.  [/quote]

As the California state schools have struggled, USC has thrived because it is flush with cash.  USC is probably the most diverse school in the US News top 25 with less than 40% Caucasian students and more International students than any other school. USC also has more Catholic students than Notre Dame.  Because of the problems with the state schools, the demand for USC in-state is higher than ever, so it's easier to get into USC if you apply from the East Coast.
