OOS Admission up or down?

<p>With the economy how it is do you see the OOS admissions getting tougher or weaker? I said weaker because they want the OOS money</p>

<p>bump…</p>

<p>There will be a boost on OOS this year because of the change in the 10% rule. One of the main goals of the change was to increase the number of OOSers</p>

<p>What’s OOS?
EDIT- I’m guessing Out of state, not sure though.</p>

<p>Jacob - just a heads up - the new rule does not come on line until 2011. This year’s admissions are same old 10% rule…</p>

<p>Good to know, I thought the daily texan said it was this year. Thanks</p>

<p>lol…so what do y’all think</p>

<p>With the economy the way it is, I imagine that all state flagships will see a higher matriculation rate (yield) than in previous years. It’s hard to justify paying oos tuition when your dad just got laid off, or his job position is shaky. It will certainly be interesting to see how the trends go, not only at UT, but nationwide.</p>

<p>Two interesting questions:</p>

<p>Will UT admit a lot of OOS students? (as they did last year) and will a high proportion of the admitted OOS students attend UT?</p>

<p>Even when the 10% rule is changed, it’s not going to make that huge a difference. The % is just changing from 10% to 8% for automatic admission.</p>

<p>It’s logical to see it go both ways, more people will accept in-state, but on the other hand you could see them accepting more OOS to make more money. A side note; the economy was about as worse this time last year (especially around OOS decision time) as it is this year, so I think that they will take more.</p>
