[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]55% of Alabama students are from out of state. I think they've made a concerted effort to bring in full-pay OOS students to make the school seem more desirable, and since there aren't enough wealthy AL residents to support a school of that size. I think rushtok is going to attract even more OOS wealthy suburban girls who want their moment in the sun. [/quote]

Alabama specifically targets Illinois students, as that's a state where the only really good state school is UIUC and it's incredibly difficult to get into UIUC CS/Engineering/Business. So the smart kids who don't want to be full pay at a $70-80K school and who want the big school/sports experience are attracted to Alabama.

SAT of 1420+ and GPA of 3.5+ will get you automatic $28K merit.  OOS tuition with fees is ~$32K. So $4K in tuition for an OOS student is a great deal if you are looking for a large, sports focused, greek focused state university and are willing to live in Alabama for 4 years. Given that many get rejected in state at UIUC, it's an affordable choice for many
