<p>Live in Delaware. Looking at eastern state schools with high acceptance ratios for out-of-state students.</p>
<p>Any thoughts ?</p>
<p>Do some states restrict proportion of out-of-state ? Someone told me that North Carolina schools only allow 20% out of state -- I'm assuming then it is tough to get in out-of-state in NC ?</p>
<p>Are the acceptance criteria for out-of-state students generally higher for state schools ?</p>
<p>Thanks !!!</p>
<p>Generally. However, Penn State and Pitt, for example, don't seem to have a preference for in-state vs. OOS, although this may be because they're "state-related" (yay to the commonwealth board of higher education).</p>
<p>Delawaredave, it is true that NC limits the number of oos students but I think this is mostly a big factor at UNC-Chapel Hill. I don't believe the other NC system universities are as difficult to get in from oos.</p>
<p>The SUNYs are looking to increase OOS enrollment, might try your luck there.</p>
<p>Why would you want to pay OOS tuition for a state school? SUNYs are a bargain, but most will cost you as much as a private without the aid.</p>
