<p>I've heard recently by word-of-mouth that it is becoming easier for out of state students to be admitted to UIUC and more difficult for in-state students. Has anyone else heard this or know if it's true or just swirling rumors?</p>
<p>They're just rumors. UIUC used to have a plan to admit more OOS students years ago but it backfired with a lot of negative press and they reversed it.</p>
<p>That doesn't mean its not true though, They have no requirements preventing them from accepting more out of state students. They could still accept more out of state students with no official statement being made.</p>
<p>Ditto to Dal (post #3).</p>
