<p>In general, do state run universities have max limits on what percentage of undergraduate freshman admissions are offered to OOS?</p>

<p>Specifically, interested in the following -
Univ of Michigan
Univ of Illinois
Univ of Virginia
Univ of Washington</p>

<p>Some do. I don’t know about the schools you listed, but UNC for example has OOS enrollment capped at 18%.</p>

<p>I know Clemson looks to have 1/3rd of the student body be from OOS every year</p>

<p>yes, pretty much all state universities have limits on OOS students…</p>

<p>for instance, unc only accepts like 9% of OOS students</p>

<p>UVa’s limit is 2/3 instate and 1/3 OOS, including 5% international. I consider this pretty generous for any public school. We have a 25% acceptance rate for OOS so you have a pretty good chance compared to that 9% for UNC.</p>

<p>For the record, UNC’s OOS enrollment is capped at 18%, not 9%. No idea where that 9% figure came from. I think about 20% of OOS applicants are admitted, but UNC doesn’t like giving out those stats.</p>

<p>It’s sad that pierre gave that number write after you explicitly stated 18%. But anyway, I know for a fact OOS vs In state doesn’t matter in transfer admission. So it’s much easier. But you can definitely assume that getting in OOS for schoosl like UNC is as harda s getting into an Ivy.</p>

<p>Thanks for the info on UVa. How about the other 3 - U of Michigan, U of Illinois & U of Washington?</p>

That doesn’t answer the OP’s question. The numbers in question are the OOS students admitted rather than enrolled.</p>

<p>48.5% of acceptances at UVA go to OOS students, which seems extraordinarily high. I wouldn’t be surprised to see UVA admissions work at keeping that number as high as possible without letting it reach 50%.</p>

<p>In comparison, 28.6% of acceptances at UNC and 13.6% at Berkeley go to OOS students.</p>

<p>They (UCA) adjust that admit number to whatever they need to YIELD the OOS target as that money is something they count on.</p>

<p>U-M has no limit. Historically, it aims for about a 65% residency percentage among undergrads.</p>

<p>As IB correctly points out, yield on non-residents is generally lower at public colleges, so for every ten enrolls they would have to admit more nonresidents than they would residents.</p>
