Saw this CD column about legacy on Reddit and thought I'd share my thoughts

<p>I would imagine a higher percent of OOS US students receive UVa aid than in-state because the sticker price is $27,000 a year more. Therefore an in-state family with an income of X would not receive AccessUVa aid, but an out-of-state family with that same income of X would be eligible. </p>

<p>The important stat from the viewpoint of University finances would be the average net price paid to UVa for OOS vs. in-state students. That stat would include loans and outside grants.</p>

<p>The international students are not eligible for AccessUVa aid, and they make up a large percentage of OOS students today. If UVa was only concerned about finances, they would fill up the entire OOS quota with international students.</p>
