<p>I don’t know the exact numbers, but ~$35,000 (OOS tuition) minus $10,000 (financial aid) is still more than ~$10,000 (IS tuition). Plus, like I said, that’s not the only or necessarily even the main reason they might want to increase the percentage of OOS students (or at least have laxer standards for this year). In this economy, top in-state students are more likely to stay in-state, so there’s going to be a stronger than average in-state pool this year. Conversely, OOS students are less likely to leave their home state for Michigan, and it probably doesn’t help that the state’s economy/Michigan’s football team have been receiving so much negative publicity on the national level.</p>
