How do you know that the OOS students would not get if they were in-state? They are evaluated in a separate applicant pool and you cannot compare OOS GPA’s to in-state GPA’s since they are calculated differently along with the many different OOS HS curriculum’s to consider. Unless you work in admissions, you cannot know about the full process.
So not to continue to derail this discussion, I suggest you look over the same arguments you have made by reviewing this discussion thread. Everyone’s opinion is valid so if you feel strongly about this issue then find a way to make your wants known. If you want to continue this discussion, I suggest you start a new thread.
