OOS waivers are given if you score a 24+ on the ACT and have a gpa of 3.0 and up. That gives you in- state tuition which is cheaper than most in state schools around the south. And on top of that State has more attainable scholarships. Paying 5-6k less than you would at OM is a big deal, ESP in this economy. Hence why I mentioned Memphis. Traditionally a ton of kids there go to OM as it's closer to home and easier to get into than UT. With OM making full OOS waivers harder to aquire MSU is picking up some of those kids.
I would like to see some definite proof of this. I'm not saying it's not true, but I don't understand how State can give an OOS waiver with an ACT 24 and Ole Miss can't. Doesn't make any sense, especially considering OM's endowment is much larger than States. Something's not right here.
