The two publics that I can think of off the top of my head that give really good aid to OOS students are UNC and UVA. Catch is, both schools are really hard to get into from OOS, and if you have the stats to get in as OOS student, than you'd probably be competitive for some really good privates (Emory, Rice, Vandy) that give out good aid packages.

Hmm, what is this based on? What's your source? Something solid to back it up or is it just anecdotal? I'm skeptical because UVa and UNC (Chapel Hill) have pretty strict state-imposed restrictions on their OOS populations so getting in from OOS is quite difficult. They don't really need to give much merit aid to attract high-end out-of-state applicants. They may target the top 1 or 2% who they are trying to win away from the Ivies and the other top-tier privates. Other than those few, I doubt many out-of-staters get much if any merit aid from UVa or UNC.
