<p>what are the some of the top public schools that are easy to get in as outstaters??</p>
<p>any opinion??
i heard that mich is a little bit easier than others…because of the rolling system…
top15~20 of public school</p>
<p>Define Top. </p>
<p>Probably Umich.</p>
<p>Well, as far as “easy,” I wouldn’t say U Mich, but considering it’s supposed quality in general, and that it’s much easier from what I’ve seen for out of staters to get in there than Berkeley, UCLA, U Va, and William and Mary, I’d list it right next to Wisconsin for supposedly (I have little idea, just lots of second hand accounts, although I believe them) quality public schools which out of staters can realistically get into.</p>
<p>What are your stats like? I’d say some of the better state schools that aren’t difficult to get into are"</p>
<p>Indiana University-Bloomington
Purdue University-West Lafayette
University of Arizona
University of Washington</p>
<p>Michigan is the best of the top schools that are ‘easy’ to get into relative to its peer group, i.e., Cal. UArizona is a cake-walk.</p>
<p>For out of staters, I agree that in its small peer group (Cal, UCLA and UVA), Michigan is the “easiest” to get into.</p>
<p>One of the few people who I know who got in out of state to U Mich didn’t even get into mid tier UCs from California. Obviously this is just one instance, but it does make me wonder about the quality of the out of state students for Mich (some say it’s a great back-up school, essentially, and that really, getting in out of state is pretty easy relative to many other quality schools). Maybe his essay grabbed someone’s attention. The other student seemed of a fairly high quality. As to Wisconsin, I have a friend who’s elite LA private school’s weaker students supposedly use as a common destination. She cited a girl who may have barely broken 1000 on the old SAT a few years back.</p>
<p>
It’s not surprising considering that the mid/lower tier UCs admit less than 5% of their freshman classes from out-of-state. Here are the stats from last year:</p>
<p>UCSD - 3%
UCI - 3%
UCD - NA (2% of student body)
UCSB - 5%
UCSC - 4%
UCR - 0% (1% of student body)</p>
<p>The UCs are for Californian …</p>
<p>Wait, your response doesn’t make sense- he is a Californian. He didn’t get into those UCs from California.</p>
<p>UIUC except for engineering.</p>
<p>The University of Washington was not so easy to get into this year from out-of-state … partly because they switched to holistic admission, and partly because they didn’t have enough space to accomodate all the in-state students.</p>
<p>DRab, I have known students who were turned down by UCSB and UCI but accepted into Chicago, Cornell, CMU and Johns Hopkins. It is not at all uncommon when you consider that all those schools receive well over 10,000 applicants. You are going to have plenty of oddities. However, the mid 50% SAT range (in one sitting) at Michigan is 1240-1400. It is a little higher for out of staters.</p>
<p>Interesting. My friend who got into Mich business (supposed to be very good) would have dreamed to get into . . . well, he’s still trying to transfer into USC business. But he wouldn’t have had more than a stick shaked at him from U Chicago, Cornell, CMU, or JHU, not that he would have applied to any of them. Or maybe I’m off. <em>shrug</em></p>
<p>Drab, all I am saying that it is not unusual for students to get turned down by the mid-tiered UCs and get into selective universities. </p>
<p>As for your friend (MBA student assume), he obviously really likes living in California because Marshall simply isn’t as good as Ross.</p>
<p>He was going for undergrad business.</p>
<p>Either way, Marshall simply isn’t as good…or as selective as Ross. In fact, Ross is at least as selective as Cornell and Chicago. As a Cal student, I am sure you can appreciate how difficult itis to maintain a 3.5+ GPA at a no-nonesense state university like Michigan. The average Ross student maintains a 3.6 GPA for 2 years at Michigan.</p>
<p>Drab,
Sorry I didn’t read your post carefully. I thought we were talking about student getting into public schools from out of state.</p>
<p>I presume your friend is currently a freshman or sophomore if he is admitted to Ross for next fall. That means he has achieved a college GPA of 3.5 or better, and with demonstrated leadership and/or services. It shouldn’t be difficult to transfer to Marshall.</p>
<p>Alexandre, does Ross operates in a similar manner as Haas, actually accepting students after the second year?</p>
<p>He went to Santa Cruise for a quarter (which many advised him not to as it clashed with his personality and, yep, it did), and now he’s working hard at UCR, taking the required courses for Marshall. This was his first school year in college. He says that Marshall is very particular about the classes you must take to transfer- they must correspond with what they way. He said other business programs are like that, I guess. I read on the Haas page that hundreds of transfer apps were invalidated because certain courses were not taken- perhaps many business schools are so particular.</p>
<p>GoBlue81, out of curiousity, is that 3.5 weighted or unweighted?</p>
<p>Drab, Michigan does not weigh GPAs. But I am confused, is your friend at UCR or at Michigan?</p>
<p>He declined Mich for meteorological, monetary, and perhaps geographical reasons (far from home).</p>
<p>So he didn’t get into Ross, he got into Michigan. Ross only started admitting students out of high school this fall.</p>
