<p>It's easy to find the overall admit rate at an out of state public university, but how do you find the percentage of applicants who are admitted from out of state? </p>
<p>I've heard around CC about particular public universities (such as UVA) that are well-known for very low acceptance rates of OOS students, and others (such as Univ. of Arizona) are more open to OOS students. But is there any good way to find this data on a university's web site? I'm not having any luck.</p>
<p>The College Board site gives that info - I assume it is fairly accurate.</p>
<p>Um, where on college board would one find that info? It's not clearly on the individual public school profiles....</p>
<p>I checked, and it's under Student Body subtitle under the At a Glance tab</p>
<p>The number at the College Board is the percentage of current students who are from out of state. What I'm looking for is: what is the percentage of OOS students who are admitted, from all the OOS students who apply?</p>
<p>Ah, sorry about the misunderstanding.</p>
<p>thanks calreader for clarifying; I had a feeling that's what we were talking about.....</p>
<p>Calreader, in the case of UVA, the Commonwealth of Virginia has a law that states that all state universities and colleges must admit at least 66 percent of its students who hold in state status. That's why Virginia's colleges have such a high in-state rate -- that, in they are quite affordable for those who live in state.</p>
<p>UW- Madison has all sorts of info buried in its website. Try enrollment facts, registrar's info type sites for a school.</p>
<p>For the University of Texas, we civilians can't easily get that info, but an information package that the University sends to out-of-state high schools has it. Check with your high school's guidance office. They may have that information for the schools you are interested in.</p>
<p>Texas law says that Texas public colleges have to be at least 90% with in-state student status. This really limits admissions opportunities for out-of-state students and international students.</p>
<p>Some of the popular schools for OOS go to great lenghts to hide that (UM, UVa). Others like UW publish it with general admit data.</p>
<p>I'm pretty sure when I went to an info session and tour at UVA they told us the OOS admit rate was 30% for OOS and 44% for in state.</p>
<p>Since UVA's overall admit rate last year was 35%, 44% in-state sounds a little high. For a 44%-30% mix to average out to 35%, five out of every eight applicants would have had to have been out-of-state. Is that possible?</p>
<p>IS/OOS data can be hard to track down. Virginia provides this information at schev.edu</p>
<p>Admissions:</a> Public Four-Year Institution Profile - B8</p>
<p>It's a bit clunky but you can get the breakdowns.</p>
<p>Okay, so 27.3% OOS admissions rate at UVA, 47.2% instate.
67% yield for instate admits, 34.3% yield for OOS folks.</p>
<p>standrews--good find.</p>
<p>Thanks - this is helpful. That Univ. of Virginia number isn't as bad as I had expected - I think it's still a higher admission rate than that of Berkeley or UCLA for a California student.</p>
<p>The general message seems to be that the info may be available on some state web site, but none of the aggregator sites has it.</p>
<p>Go to the college's web site- search Institutional Research and look at the Common Data Set</p>
<p>the UCal system has statfinder...you can search by campus.</p>
<p>I didn't realize it was in the Common Data Set - should have looked there first. That's great. Also, many thanks for the reminder about StatFinder - I had completely forgotten about it.</p>
