<p>Does anyone know about Purdue’s selectivity for OOS? I looked on their common data set but I didn’t see anything admissions-related specifically for OOSers.</p>
<p>UMICH: “But if your stats are strong (i.e., at or above their 75th percentile SAT/ACTs and top 10% of your HS class) and you think you really want to go there, don’t be deterred by the fact that you’re OOS because you probably have a good chance of being accepted.”</p>
<p>Uh, you better have higher than a 3.7 UMGPA and hopefully live in New York…Neighboring states (NJ) all bets are off…Many, many not accepted to UMich with over the 75% and between 3.5 and 3.8 UWGPA…and way into the top 10% as well</p>
<p>Totally depends on what school AND what state you come from…</p>
<p>i.e. Binghamton University in NY: OOS is infinitely easier to be accepted than IS</p>
<p>GoBlue81 is quite right about the situation at the U of Washington. Also, competition for admission among state residents has become quite intense. And the stingy state legislature has a history of offering ominous opinions about how the UW is run, as opposed to Washington State University, which they don’t seem to care as much about.</p>
<p>Does anyone know anything about U of Delaware?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>University of New Hampshire, for example, has something like a 55/45% resident/nonresident ratio, so it exceeds Michigan. And it accepts over half its nonresident applicants.</p>
<p>There is a University of New Hampshire?</p>
<p>every state has at least one land-grant public university.</p>
<p>i live in the southwest and it just struck me that i know virtually no one who has gone or even applied to michigan from my home state. many applications to berkeley and los angeles, some to virginia, some to chapel hill–so public status must not be the problem.</p>
<p>philoglossia. I know quite a few people from Michigan who are/have attended ASU. To be honest they were not among the better students.</p>
<p>Land grant universities and public/state universities not exactly the same thing in origin. For example, Michigan State University is a land grant university. U of Michigan is not.</p>
<p>UDelaware is 70% OOS, and a decent 2nd-tier public (about on par w/ Rutgers or UMCP, I’d say).</p>
<p>I would not say that.</p>
<p>I know kids who got into (and attend) UNC, UCSB and UCI from OOS. I have no idea how, as none of them were ‘top’ students (probably ~top 15%). Admissions can be weird.</p>
<p>Ah. UDel is lower than UMCP but almost identical to Rutgers, if you’re looking at SAT percentiles. Ranked a little below Rutgers, slightly better SAT scores.</p>
<p>I am also OOS and want to get into UCLA or UCSD or UCSC, but I think I stand a better shot applying to USC.</p>
<p>^^^ and Cornell</p>
