<p>This depends quite a bit upon the university in question. Generally, private schools like BU or BC do not care. Many state universities currently are trying to increase their number or OOS students especially if they are full pay because they are charged more than IS students and their budgets are under pressure. So, if you are full pay it could be a boost. However, by state law UNC can only accept 18% from OOS which makes OOS admissions much more competitive than IS.</p>
