Chances for an OOS Student at UVA?

Also, it baffles me that Virginia would enforce a mandated IS/OOS ratio. Out of state students pay much more in tution, so it seems logical to give OOS students a fairer shot. I don’t know how much of that revenue goes directly to the state, but I think non-Virginians contribute much more.

IMHO, it would be better if UVA had the same system that the University of Michigan has: a “soft” ratio that only gives a slight advantage to in-state students. If you look at the numbers, the admit rate for OOS students at Michigan is only a 5-10% below the IS rate. But that’s my $.02. I know very little about Virginia politics (although I do see political ads for their candidates).
