<p>We have to remember that there’s a difference between the number/percentage of OOS ACCEPTED and the number/percentage who ATTEND. The latter is the number that must by law be no more than ~18 percent in NC and something like 30 percent in VA , right? So UNC and UVA can offer admission to however many OOS applicants they feel they need to, in order to ensure that the appropriate percentage will accept the offer of admission. The fact that the admissions numbers for OOS have gone up doesn’t mean that more OOS students will be attending. (At least that’s my take on it.)</p>
