Whats harder to get into out-of-state. I guess which school looks more upon state residency. In addition, how do you compare the two schools?
<p>UVa is flat out harder to get into out of state. It's not so much about state residency as it is class size. UVa enrolls a much smaller class than UMich, so there are less out of state spots, which means that UVa's out of state spots will be more selective. </p>
<p>I don't have any direct experience with either school, so I wouldn't be a good source on how to compare the two.</p>
<p>UVa and Umich have great programs in the humanities (UVa's history and Umich's political science are top-notch), but Umich is much better in natural and applied sciences. UVa is less liberal than Umich and has a more southern atmosphere. UVa values state residency more than Umich because Umich has a huge undergraduate enrollment.</p>
