<p>What are the most selective public schools for out-of-staters? And what percent of OOS do the schools accept? </p>
<p>U Michigan
UVA
College of William and Mary
UC Berkeley
UNC Chapel Hill</p>
<p>etc.</p>
<p>anyone....?</p>
<p>William and Mary is public? Never knew that...</p>
<p>Yeah, UC Berkeley and UCLA should be near the top, if not #1 and #2. I think I heard somewhere that UCLA is the most applied-to school in the country.</p>
<p>UNC is hard to get into, though I don't know enough about the other schools to compare selectivity. They only accept about 18% out-of-state, including athletes, international students, etc.</p>
<p>The top, I think,, are Berkeley, UVA and UNC.</p>
<p>Does Berkeley have a quota system for OOS? Like UNC, where they only allow X % of out of state people?</p>
<p>Do state schools give preference to in state students?</p>
<p>I'm fairly sure they do.</p>
<p>I'm not sure if Berkeley has a quota system like UNC. I believe NC has a state law requiring UNC to accept 84% of its incoming class from NC. But state schools definitely give preference to in-state applicants, since the schools receive funding from the state gov't (i.e. taxes).
I have a friend who used to go to Stuyvesant and he knows the valedictorian there who had 2300+ SAT, excellent athlete, etc and got rejected from UVA McIntire School of Commerce. I'd imagine that McIntire is harder than the college, but, still, valedictorian at Stuy has got to be worth something.</p>
<p>Does UMichigan have the same quota system---only a certain amount from out of state?</p>
<p>I'm going to the University of Tennessee. I'm not sure if they have quota or anything to meet, but most of the students I've seen accepted so far to UT have been OOS.</p>
