<p>Knight - I don’t have the data in front of me but I feel safe in saying the the offer rate (which is the stat determining how competitive it is) is lower at UNC OOS then the offer rate to OOS students at Idaho. It’s a combination of two factors. The number of spaces (percentage of student body, 18% at UNC) and the number of applicants for those spaces, which drives the competition. If you allow for 10% OOS but the draw isn’t there you may have a 50% acceptance rate for OOS students. UVa and UNC used in Northwestys example shows universities that have a big attraction of OOS students, thus there are many applications for those spots and the offer rate is low.</p>
