The legislature mandates that OOS is capped at 18%. As stated on other posts, they found a loophole several years ago that allows students on full scholarships to count as in state both for admissions percentages and tuition consideration. This has increased the real OOS percentage to between 18 and 20 percent depending on the OOS yield for the Morehead and Robertson as well as recruited athletes. Last year it was around 19 percent as I recall which would be less than 700 students. If you subtract recruited athletes, Moreheads and Robertsons you are realistically probably looking at 500-600 other spots max and the yield is somewhere around 50 % so roughly 1000-1200 are admitted. When you consider that the OOS applicant pool is historically in excess of 12,000 (this year probably higher based on much higher EA numbers) it is easier to understand how difficult OOS admissions really are. Just looking at raw numbers, it is about as difficult as admission to Yale.
