[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It was never supposed to be about attainable education. It was always supposed to be a place for the state’s top scholars. [/quote]

NP here. I don't have a problem with this.  I do wish they'd take more state students and fewer OOS to come into line with their peer public institutions.[/quote]

Michigan is 50% OOS.[/quote]

Well, shame on Michigan too![/quote]

The state of Michigan has 3,255 seniors scoring 1400+ on the SAT. The University of Michigan has 7,278 seats in the first year class. 50% in-state means there’s room for every Michigan resident who scores 1400+.

The state of Virginia has 5,061 seniors scoring 1400+ on the SAT. UVA has 3,961 seats in the first year class. Even if UVA was 100% in-state, there would not be room for every resident who scores 1400+.

But sure, shame on Michigan for providing enough seats to educate all qualified in-state students. [/quote]

What I reject is your premise that in-state students must score 1400+ to be considered "qualified." Why shouldn't Michigan accept in-state students with less than a 1400?

I agree about UVA- way fewer students than seats available and understand it's not the University of Northern Virginia so students from NOVA are impacted. Why can't they admit more students from NOVA and take fewer OOS students? [/quote]

There's VT and W&M. They would want more applicants.[/quote]
