Which OOS publics are generous enough with merit aid to make it reasonable to attend?
I know it is highly dependent on stats and some schools post exactly the stats needed on their websites (South Carolina, Alabama, Ohio State).
I have read that Vermont provides a lot of merit aid.
Look at KU, Arizona State, U of Missouri, Mississippi State, LSU, Colorado School of Mines, Auburn
Also, Alabama, Tennessee, and Pitt all give significant merit aid to OOS to get more OOS to attend.
Virginia and UNC do NOT give merit aid to OOS unless your DC gets a Morehead, a Robertson, or a Jefferson (i.e., very very very competitive free ride in which residency plays no role whatsoever).
WM, at least, will offer in state tuition to OOS students they really want. Ask me how I know...

Plus, to follow up, I just noticed that their yield has been very poor over the past several years. So no to William and Mary OOS. UVA would be the only one to consider from my perspective.
Just curious. Why would you let the yield rate drive your opinion? No one outside of people dealing with the admissions process really talks about yield.
The yield tells me that it’s not very popular. I think it’s a great school but I think it’s slipoing.
You are not thinking it through very carefully. Is there anything else that the yield could be showing? Is there any way that a college yield could be manipulated?
William and Mary is not slipping.

Lots of OOS high-stats kids apply to W&M. They turn it down for Ivies and other Top 20 schools. But, a good option.

We did. We got nothing. State publics don't give much merit aid unless you have something they really really want.

What is unimpressive with a 36% admission rate. Its highly competitive.

My daughter applied to UMASS Amherst and UCONN and was accepted to both and got merit to both so out of state may make sense if they actually want to go way to school as State even out of state is usually cheaper private and if you get merit not much difference
