<p>Does anyone know about Purdue's selectivity for OOS? I looked on their common data set but I didn't see anything admissions-related specifically for OOSers.</p>
<p>UMICH: "But if your stats are strong (i.e., at or above their 75th percentile SAT/ACTs and top 10% of your HS class) and you think you really want to go there, don't be deterred by the fact that you're OOS because you probably have a good chance of being accepted."</p>
<p>Uh, you better have higher than a 3.7 UMGPA and hopefully live in New York.....Neighboring states (NJ) all bets are off....Many, many not accepted to UMich with over the 75% and between 3.5 and 3.8 UWGPA......and way into the top 10% as well</p>
<p>Totally depends on what school AND what state you come from....</p>
<p>i.e. Binghamton University in NY: OOS is infinitely easier to be accepted than IS</p>
<p>GoBlue81 is quite right about the situation at the U of Washington. Also, competition for admission among state residents has become quite intense. And the stingy state legislature has a history of offering ominous opinions about how the UW is run, as opposed to Washington State University, which they don't seem to care as much about.</p>
<p>Does anyone know anything about U of Delaware?</p>

it's probably easiest at University of Michigan because they admit on a rolling basis and, like bclintonk said, admit more OOS-ers.

<p>University of New Hampshire, for example, has something like a 55/45% resident/nonresident ratio, so it exceeds Michigan. And it accepts over half its nonresident applicants.</p>
<p>There is a University of New Hampshire?</p>
<p>every state has at least one land-grant public university.</p>
<p>i live in the southwest and it just struck me that i know virtually no one who has gone or even applied to michigan from my home state. many applications to berkeley and los angeles, some to virginia, some to chapel hill--so public status must not be the problem.</p>
<p>philoglossia. I know quite a few people from Michigan who are/have attended ASU. To be honest they were not among the better students.</p>
<p>Land grant universities and public/state universities not exactly the same thing in origin. For example, Michigan State University is a land grant university. U of Michigan is not.</p>
<p>UDelaware is 70% OOS, and a decent 2nd-tier public (about on par w/ Rutgers or UMCP, I'd say).</p>
<p>I would not say that.</p>
<p>I know kids who got into (and attend) UNC, UCSB and UCI from OOS. I have no idea how, as none of them were 'top' students (probably ~top 15%). Admissions can be weird.</p>
<p>Ah. UDel is lower than UMCP but almost identical to Rutgers, if you're looking at SAT percentiles. Ranked a little below Rutgers, slightly better SAT scores.</p>
<p>I am also OOS and want to get into UCLA or UCSD or UCSC, but I think I stand a better shot applying to USC.</p>
<p>^^^ and Cornell</p>
