<p>I agree with what you’re saying, mrlaurencenyugen. I guess what I’m trying to say is that UW is more likely to accept out-of-state students because they know that out-of-state students are less likely to attend, so they need to accept more in order to get a decent proportion compared to in-state students, since in-state students are more likely to attend if they are accepted.</p>
<p>Basically, if UW wanted the same amount of in-state and out-of-state students to enroll, they would need to accept a lot more out-of-state students because out-of-state students are less likely to attend. I don’t think that’s actually the case (I think they want more in-state students), but it still means that they are more willing to admit out-of-state students than in-state students since they know that less OOS students are going to matriculate compared to in-state students.</p>
