[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I wish UVA had a higher in state percentage like UNC.  UNC historically has done this as a policy of a state school first and foremost for NC residents.  It’s taxpayer funded and therefore needs to be for taxpayer children.  Many states have same views with regards to their public universities.  The GA of MC has not budged on this ratio for decades.  There is pressure on UVA to lower its OOS ratio, not include legacy kids as OOS, to raise its instate, but they won’t.  This really hurts Virginia kids.  I don’t need kids from Texas or California at UVA to make me feel like it’s a more prestigious school.  [/quote]

UNC In-State Admit Rate - 41%
UVA In-State Admit Rate - 40.3%[/quote]

You ar not understanding my post.  I am not talking about acceptance rates. Don’t be obtuse,  By law, UNC has an 82/18 instate/OOS ratio for every incoming freshman class.  If their yield results in a larger than 18% OOS then they get a serious financial fine.

You are quoting that 41% of Instate applicants are offered admissions for UNC and 40.3 for UVA.  This has nothing to do with the yield of instate and OOS ratios and you probably know that.

13% of OOS applicants to UNC were offered admissions in 2018.  https://admissions.unc.edu/apply/class-profile-2/
And that yield may not go over 18% of the incoming freshman student body, this is by law.  This law has not changed in decades http://mediahub.unc.edu/university-ratio-unc-systems-82-18-split/

UVA has around 30% OOS yield, and not only that, remember that UVA treats OOS legacy applicants as instate, making it even harder for instate kids to compete.  The percentage changes often, but with more people wanting public universities for the good value  is a huge push for UVA to accept more instate freshmen.   https://admission.virginia.edu/admission/statistics

So the percentage of instate at UNC is 82%/ 18 OOS,
UVA 70% instate and 30% out of state

Get it straight.[/quote]
