<p>Question: There seems to be a lot of people from out of state. But statistics say that only 13% or so come from other states. It's really surprising considering how prestigious the university is. Really concerning. A lot of other state colleges that aren't ranked as high, have a greater % from out of states. Illinois is a big state obviously and that's part of the reason obviously but there must be something else. Or maybe it's not as good?</p>

<p>gomb, as to ur question, plenty of great public colleges have small %'s out of state, and 13% is perfectly normal... i don't think there are many public universities with much higher than 15% out of state. as for the discrepancy between ppl on thie forum and statistics, i think it might have something to do with the fact that CC is unproportionally coast oriented</p>

<p>I'm not sure if I know I'm in.. is decision supposed to say "admit" ?</p>
<p>yeah, either "admit" or "admit- college reviewed", somewhere along those lines.</p>
<p>One thing you might attribute the low number of out of state students to is the fact that the strength of U of I seems to be overshadowed by the likes of Umich. The difference between the admitted student stats of U of I and Umich are not that different. That is to say, many students admitted out of state to U of I are probably also admitted at schools like the University of Michigan. Not a huge price difference + umich overall being ranked higher = students turning down u of i for umich...
thats just an idea tho...</p>
