States that actually care about their kids will impose harder caps on OOS, like California, where only 18% of the UC system can be OOS.

It's become a game of musical chairs where LMI kids are f#cked over because "merit" aid goes to UMC OOS kids and UMC families are still paying more than double what they would pay for UMCP because now they are recruiting a bunch of rich kids from Long Island who don't want to go to SUNY.

Virginia's legislature won't fund our colleges as well as other states, so the colleges need that OOS money. The legislature agreed to the 2/3 to 1/3 ratio.

That's not what is happening. They are recruiting from rich white areas to get a bunch of rich kids to pay out of state and correct some budget deficits.

That is why so many W kids go to Michigan. It was a budget issue.

UVA tried to do it with Montgomery County kids but a group of parents sued the school for taking essentially the exact same kid from a W school vs a northern VA school just for the $$, and the parents won, which is why UVA now has a limit on OOS kids from places like MoCo.

Where did you come up with this? The 2/3 thing came out of a budget and autonomy agreement, not a lawsuit.

Or maybe I grew up in a different timeline. Please post a link to the article about this lawsuit.

I' m pretty sure schools like Bama are also playing the volume game in addition to trying to raise the overall average stats of who they admit. The marginal cost of adding more students is nothing compared to what they collect from them that otherwise would have been zero. The professor teaching Chem 101 doesn't get paid more for having 360 kids in their class rather than 320. Even with a deep 100% tuition discount, those kids are still paying more for R&B, parking passes, t-shirts, and what not than the cost of feeding and housing them in Tuscaloosa.

That's fair, because UVA also has an in-state limit on kids from places like Fairfax, Loudoun, and Arlington County. =D

source?

NP, restrictions by school/jurisdiction make sense, however UVA claims they don't practice that:
"Do you have quotas or targets for certain schools or areas?
No. While we maintain a 2/3 majority of Virginia residents in our student population, there are no restrictions on how many students we may admit from a particular school, town, county, or region"

Agreed, it's fair, just trying to explain the whole OOS thing, why they are recruiting from rich schools.

W schools in MoCo are not asking for financial aid so Michigan knows if they accept more students from there they are not going to have to pay FA.

Some state flagships

Illinois 37%
UMich 49%
UVA 52%
Wisconsin 57%
Ohio State 62%

And look at the Asian applicants at those schools. It's not URMs driving down the white seats.

Ah, it is the ORM.

Good luck with that. Kind of naive though. There's always an agenda.

Give UDC is basically free, I am all for this.

Congratulations on the stupidest post of the day. A glance at the URM percentage at almost any school shows how laughably out of touch this moronic post is, but don’t let facts stand in your way.

Do you have a neo-Nazi protest to attend in Florida?

There isn't a number high enough to + this.

For a lot of this will depend on where you are from and the opportunities available in your state. Take the DMV area for example, DC based kids are most likely not going to select a DC school so are headed elsewhere and places like Michigan, Wisconsin, Ohio and Illinois are potentials destinations, as well as big Southern schools. MD kids like the flavor of UMCP but not everyone is going to get in, so they look at many of the same schools as the DC kids. VA kids, particularly those in NOVA may avoid W&M and UVA because they don't want NOVA II so look at the big out of state flagship for the traditional college experience.

If the out of state schools are going to offer discounts to bring costs in line with state schools kids and parents will take the chance and head out of state. In an era of tightening state budgets, with less and less money spent on higher education, schools are going to do what they need to do to survive. It probably won't be long before schools like UNC begin to admit a higher percentage of out of state residents.

Yes, there will be winners and losers in this game of musical chairs, but it will become more and more common.
