<p>How much harder?</p>

<p>also anyone know why oos students have a harder time getting accepted than an in state student would? after all the oos students are paying more if they do get accepted</p>

<p>It is harder for out-of-state students to get in because the main purpose of a public university to educate the students of that state. After all, it is their parent’s taxes that help pay to run the college. </p>
<p>Also from [University</a> of South Carolina - Future Students](<a href=“404 page not found | University of South Carolina”>Office of Undergraduate Admissions - Office of Undergraduate Admissions | University of South Carolina) :</p>

<p>^So you can see roughly how much more difficult it is to get in.</p>

<p>Doesnt that mean they would have to admit a certain number of oos students?</p>
<p>Sent from my SCH-I500 using CC App</p>
<p>They do. That number is less than the in-state number.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>No. The proposed legislation sets a maximum percentage of out-of-state students, but no minimum percentage. They don’t have to admit anyone from out of state. They do admit some, of course, but there’s no floor in the proposal–just a ceiling.</p>
<p>Thank your help </p>

<p>I’m going to have to respectfully disagree with Sikorsky. While there are no published numbers of OOS admits it is figured into the expected budget available for the year.</p>
<p>Erin’s Dad, I don’t disagree at all. I am sure that in practice, virtually all publics do have target numbers of high-paying OOS students (and probably also high-achieving OOS students, too) in order to enhance the institution’s revenue and prestige. </p>
<p>What I meant to say, but didn’t say precisely at all, was that the proposed legislation to cap OOS enrollment, mentioned upthread, doesn’t necessarily mean you can reliably deduce anything about how many OOS a college will enroll.</p>

<p>So what’s harder to get into umass I am mass resident or usc?</p>
<p>Sent from my SCH-I500 using CC App</p>
<p>Anyone know???</p>
<p>Sent from my SCH-I500 using CC App</p>
<p>Well it certainly depends on your grades, scores, and ec’s but overall umass is harder to get into than south Carolina.</p>
<p>I haven’t taken and subject tests yet but I will do fine my ecs are good but I need to work on my gpa</p>

<p>Does USC require any SAT subject tests?</p>
<p>What are your SAT or ACT scores?</p>
<p>What is your GPA?</p>
<p>Will your parents pay for an OOS school? If not, how much will they pay?</p>
<p>As of right now 3.03 gpa weighed which is bad. I always thought I could cruise through high school but now I have realized I need to take more honors courses and get A ’ s in them. I am taking the sat and act next year, plus we are not worried about the cost</p>
