<p>Perhaps, but if as a result of that it was significantly more difficult to gain admission as an OOS student because more applicants are applying for fewer slots, it strikes me that the correct answer would have to be yes, different standards are applied when evaluating OOS students, because OOS students would in that case generally need higher stats to get in. They also said that currently approximately 38% of the students are OOS (which is higher than I would have thought). So, unless more than 38% of the applicants are from OOS, it wouldn’t seem to be more difficult to be admitted as an OOS student. I wouldn’t think that more than 38% of the applicants are OOS, but who knows, they don’t seem to publicize that sort of information.</p>
