<p>Keep in mind, just because a school strives to keep a certain percentage of OOSers vs. in-staters, it doesn’t mean in-state applicants receive an advantage. If 60% of the applicants to Cornell’s contract schools are in-state, Cornell can probably maintain a 60% in-state matriculant percentage naturally.</p>
<p>In fact, Cornell can probably afford to be choosier when choosing in-state acceptees because the yield among in-state applicants will be higher than the yield among out of state applicants, meaning they won’t have to accept as many in-staters to fill up the same number of seats.</p>
