Which state university systems want OOS students and which don't?

<p>If anyone is interested in non-flagships, most UNC-system schools are fairly easy to get into, despite the 82/18 rule, because they aren’t as well known outside NC. </p>

<p>I would expect NC State’s Engineering to be an exception, because it is relatively tough for NC residents to get into State’s engineering programme.</p>

<p>The reason I mention the UNC system is because North Carolina puts so much money into higher education, that many of the 16 universities have more funding than some states flagships from what I have been told. While they might not have the prestige of Chapel Hill, I would argue that the UNC-system as a whole is the strongest public university system in the country and there are many opportunities that can be found. In particular UNC-Charlotte’s location makes it an excellent choice for average students who want to major in business, and its business honors programme is supposed to be excellent.</p>

182

<p>^example: UNC-Asheville and UNC-Greensboro</p>

183

<p>^Yes, both are excellent universities. UNC-Willmington is also good, especially for biology, and Appalachian State University has a phenomenal teaching programme. I already mentioned UNC-Charlotte, which also has good architecture and engineering programmes.</p>

184

<p>any of these schools give money to oos transfers?</p>

185

<p>University of Pittsburgh definitely wants students.</p>

186

<p>is there any specific schools that give scholarships to OOS or scholarships that waive the OOS tuition fee??? I know mizzou has some scholarships that waive that fee</p>

187

<p>If you really had to ask me… no college wants specifically out of state students or even in state students. All colleges want students that have potential to succeed. If you do well in your essay, GPA, and SATs/ACTs you would not have to worry about this necessarily.</p>

188

<p>At UNC-Chapel Hill, all merit scholarships received by OOS students cover full tuition( and tuition is technically decreased to in-state, not that it matters, a full ride is a full ride).</p>

<p>These same scholarships only offer 2500-7000 per in state student.</p>

<p>I respectfully disagree. UNC and NC State are both very good schools, but many of the other NC publics are also rans – UNC-Charlotte, for example, is a fourth tier public. Virginia’s public university system, which includes UVA, William and Mary, Virginia Tech and James Madison, among others, is stronger overall.</p>

<p>Wow, Future Actuary! Cool.</p>

<p>To clarify with Texas: If you are looking at the flagship (UT in Austin), you’d better be a tippy top student and expect to pay full (high) OOS tuition. If you want to go to A&M, your stats should be pretty good. Probably very easy to get in anywhere else, but don’t expect a tuition waiver.</p>

<p>Glad you like to work with numbers, FutureActuary!</p>

<p>Missypie - You don’t know the half of it. </p>

<p>I’ve been obsessed with statistics and logic puzzles since I was very young. When I was 13, my brother and I kept a Top 25 for college basketball for an entire season ('95-96 if it matters), much like the AP does, but we did it ourselves solely based on statistics. I can remember in the pre-season obsessing over the Anthem College Basketball book and creating a formula and then obsessing over “The Sporting News” with him every night throughout the season.</p>

<p>Now, I don’t follow sports anymore, but I do have Excel spreadsheets for absolutely everything. Oh and I do buy scratch-off lottery tickets occasionally, but only after I’ve checked the state’s website to see how many of the winning tickets are left, and plug that into a formula I created that weights odds, prize amounts, etc to make sure my odd are the best they can possibly be (still not very good on most games.)</p>

<p>It’s a ridiculous compulsion, that I have to “rate” everything numerically.</p>

195

<p>When I was a junior in college, my boyfriend’s roommate was studying to be an actuary - that was the first time I’d ever even heard the word!</p>

196

<p>That’s sooner than I did. I was a sociology/political science major in college. I didn’t know about actuaries until I started working in the insurance industry. I’ve always played with statistics just for fun.</p>

197

<p>Just adding to the stats:
UDel admits 69% of IS and 42-48% of OOS applicants (this is posted on current udel admissions website). It’s overall admissions rate (on collegeboard) is 57%.</p>

198

<p>Texas universities offers instate tuition to OOS students who receive a competitive scholarship of $1000 or more from the university attending. Outside scholarship don’t count for this.</p>

199

<p>On a separate but related note:</p>

<p>In an effort to grow the popularity and success of their rugby program…qualified rugby players from out-of-state may now attend Texas A&M for the in-state tuition rate.</p>

<p>Just a quick correction to your data: UNC’s OOS limit is a strict 18%, not 12%.</p>
