@ucbalumnus I’m sure that many universities do fashion their admissions policies with financial considerations in mind, and University of California for years treated out of state students as a great revenue source. That contrasts with the University of Michigan and University of Virginia. Both of those state universities have devoted large amounts of budgetary resources to providing financial aid to OOS students, and both now offer excellent FA to those students. I was referring mainly to LACs and highly competitive private universities.
