<p>it seems that half the people i ask if state schools like uw-madison, indiana, and the such have easier admissions for in state students or out of state students. wouldn't the schools want the out of state tuition and hence make it easier for out of staters to get in?</p>
<p>Right now it's about the same at UW for both in and OOS. The money from OOS is important.</p>
<p>No. Since they are state-funded, they are required to admit many under-qualified in-state applicants.</p>
<p>see everyone seems to contradict</p>
<p>like a778999 said, since the state schools receive state funding their is usually a mandate on how many residents should attend and how many out of state students are allowed to attend. For example, at UNC 88% of the student body has to be in-state. At UVA and W&M 66% has to be in-state.</p>
<p>BUT some colleges are now beginning to favor OOS applicants because they pay higher tuition... like University of Wisconsin.</p>
<p>One thing that is tricky about in-state admissions in general is that, at least at most schools that I am familiar with, colleges will only take a certain percentage of applicants from every high school. We have great colleges that are usually pretty easy for in-state admissions, but can actually be harder from our school because so many people from our school apply.</p>
<p>Datkid is right about the state funding, but UNC-CH is actually 82% in-state, not 88%.</p>
<p>Jack is right, it is 82%.</p>
