<p>Some of the top state schools like NC, VA, or Cal can be pretty tough on OOS because they have a limit on what percentage can be OOS, but some others don’t. Michigan, for instance is undoubtedly tough to get into, but for a student with the stats to be looking at the top schools, it is a very attractive match. A fairly high percentge of their students are OOS. It was my S’s second choice school, and if he hadn’t gotten into his ED, he would have happily gone to Mich with major merit money.</p>
