<p>How hard is it for someone to get in out of state? I know at some universities, as an out of stater, it is far harder to get in. William and Mary is the only university that I'm looking at right now, because I'm going to spend part of my summer there. I don't know how they deal with in state/ out of state. What is their OoS acceptance rate?</p>
<p>I think it’s in the high teens to low 20s. But that is just my best guess. The overall acceptance rate for this year was 29%</p>
<p>You should also know that, based on the 09-10 data, females and males have significantly different admit rates. You can do the math, I am too lazy =P</p>
<p>1993/4457 for men
2065/7652 for women</p>
<p>W&M is 2/3 instate students, 1/3 oos</p>
<p>Thank you very much!</p>
<p>but don’t let the OOS thing dissuade you… my son thought he didn’t have a chance we are oos… he applied and got in, but then again he is a guy so maybe that helped.</p>
<p>From what we gleaned from the data, you have a better shot getting in from OOS early decision; so if W&M is where you know you want to go, apply ED.</p>
<p>W&M is more competitive for out-of-state applicants because only one-third of our student body can be out-of-state students. That being said the same application and review process is used, it’s simply that fewer spaces are available. It never hurts anyone to apply to a selective institution like W&M as long as they have appropriate expectations.</p>
<p>W&M’s out-of-state admission rate differs from year to year and usually hovers around 25%</p>
<p>Thank you all for answering my questions. I think my experience this summer will help me decide whether or not I will apply to William and Mary. I’m quite interested in W&M because it is a smaller state school - most of my other potential applications are for LAC. I’ll be sure to come back here if I have any more questions - the replies were quick and helpful!</p>
