<p>I recently got into UNC as an OOS and everyone in my school was really impressed. I knew how hard it was because only 18% of students are OOS. But then I did some research and saw that only 10% of UCLA students are out of state, UCB 8%, UFlorida 3% (!), UGA 11%, etc.</p>
<p>Am I missing something? Are there more OOS applicants to UNC or something and that's what makes it more selective. Or maybe I'm just wrong in assuming UNC OOS is like the toughest there is.</p>
<p>Virginia, Michigan, Texas, UCLA, UCB, UNC…those would be my top 5 if I knew how to count</p>
<p>0, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 </p>
<p>There!</p>
<p>^ haha a programmer right there am I right?</p>
<p>W&M is harder than michigan, wisconsin and texas… and on par with UCB, UNC and UVA</p>
<p>UNC is ridiculously tough to get into OOS. I would put it with UVa, W&M and Berkeley as the hardest publics to get into OOS.</p>
<p>Berkeley, UVa, Madison-WI, Michigan, UCLA</p>
<p>Part of this is determined by how many OOS students a State U will accept. Here’s some info on that and overall acceptance rates for publics ranked in the USNWR Top 75:</p>
<p>Acceptance Rate , % of OOS students , State U</p>
<p>21.6% , 7% , UC BERKELEY
22.8% , 6% , UCLA
34.0% , 17% , U N CAROLINA
34.1% , 32% , WILLIAM & MARY
36.7% , 28% , U VIRGINIA
39.2% , 24% , U MARYLAND
39.5% , 4% , U FLORIDA
41.6% , 3% , UC SAN DIEGO
42.2% , 35% , U MICHIGAN
43.5% , 4% , U TEXAS
48.7% , 3% , UC IRVINE
49.2% , 4% , UC S BARBARA
51.2% , 25% , PENN STATE
52.5% , 26% , U MINNESOTA
52.6% , 2% , UC DAVIS
52.7% , 32% , U WISCONSIN
53.8% , 29% , CLEMSON
54.5% , 23% , U CONNECTICUT
55.4% , 17% , U PITTSBURGH
55.6% , 12% , U GEORGIA
55.8% , 7% , RUTGERS
56.0% , 64% , U DELAWARE
60.9% , 27% , GEORGIA TECH
61.0% , 12% , U WASHINGTON
62.3% , 11% , OHIO STATE
65.4% , 32% , VIRGINIA TECH
69.1% , 6% , U ILLINOIS
70.0% , 8% , MICHIGAN ST
70.1% , 3% , TEXAS A&M
70.7% , 34% , INDIANA U
71.5% , 39% , PURDUE
71.7% , 3% , UC S CRUZ
82.3% , 37% , U IOWA</p>
<p>As far as OOS admissions rates, IMO the ranking would be as follows:</p>
<ol>
<li> U North Carolina</li>
<li> UC Berkeley</li>
<li> William & Mary</li>
<li> U Virginia</li>
<li> UCLA</li>
<li> U Texas</li>
</ol>
<p>Berkeley has a plan to admit and enroll more high paying OOS students to help mitigate budget issues.</p>
<p>Berkeley and UCLA are the hardest. It seems logical that they would with both have much lower overall acceptance rates than the other publics while also have a smaller percentage of OOS students. Although both are going to admit more OOS students.</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Thats odd, according to collegeboard Iowa out of state population is at 48%.</p>
<p>These acceptance rates are going to be even worse this year for Cal and LA … too many people applied this year.</p>
<p>I am afraid that I’ll be looking only at UCSD in state vs UMich OOS
in March, as far as publics go. I think I deserve better :-<</p>

<p>Please don’t come to Michigan. It’s obviously not good enough for you.</p>
<p>I don’t think you can use this list. The % of OOS students is not the accepted rate, it is the attending rate.</p>
<p>For example UCSD says 3% OOS. When my daughter applied there last year I called and spoke with an admissions officer and was told that the acceptance rate for OOS was much higher. They only have 3% OOS actually attending because they do not give OOS students aid to cover the difference btw in state and out of state tuition.</p>
<p>For the UCs, you can use Statfinder for this information.</p>
<p>2009 Data:</p>
<p>Non-California Domestic Applicants:
Berkeley, 14.2% acceptance, 22.8% yield
UCLA, 26.9% acceptance, 21.3% yield
UCSD, 33.0% acceptance, 10.1% yield</p>
<p>International Applicants:
Berkeley, 14.6% acceptance, 40.5% yield
UCLA, 18.8% acceptance, 20.7% yield
UCSD, 27.5% acceptance, 10.4% yield</p>
<p>I would be very interested to see the stats for UFlorida to see how it works out to 3% OOS. 3 kids in my school made it in and they’re not like top 20% students</p>
