UGA has a decent oos population
i would not have guessed this. probably cause im from metro atlanta and somehow we all seem to stick together.
also, i knew an odd number of people from maryland for some reason. not surprised they are that high. IIRC, stafford going to uga increased our numbers from texas by a lot.

As a Texan attending LSU, I wish this was the case. OOS is pretty pricey if you're a transfer student (no OOS tuition waiver consideration). With that said, I think the city of Houston alone accounts for roughly 8% of LSU's undergrad population, which is crazy.

LSU has VERY low tuition rates for OOS students. I think it may even be lower than the cost of in-state tuition in Texas.
LSU also has two damned good programs.
It's banking program is recognized nationwide. And it's history program was, at one time, as good as anyone's.
I considered it for grad school, accepted and everything. But I had to go to work.

You make me fricking sick.

Keep in mind, the 15% noted is representative of first year freshmen only.

I was accepted into both A&M and UT, but half my HS graduating class was attending A&M/Blinndergarten, and Austin was...too Austin for me. Needed a change of scenery, and so I ended up in the Red Stick, haha.

Is that still the case? I thought that was done away with. A buddy of mine has his son as a freshman at LSU and he is paying through the nose.

You can get in-state prices at a university part of the Academic Common Market (I think that's the name) if you choose a major that is not offered in-state. For instance, an Alabamian could attend LSU for in-state prices if they majored in Petroleum Engineering.

Don't GA and LA pay your tuition if you are in state? (if your grades are good enough)

Almost every Southern state besides Alabama and Mississippi have lottery-funded scholarships.

AU is 38% with the vast majority coming from GA and FL. Surprisingly, there's a good TX population @ over 600, but I'd guess they are mostly legacies.

Yeah, Louisiana has TOPS and Georgia has the Hope scholarship
LA needs to raise its standards for TOPS, as the current qualifications are unsustainable long term. But yes, it's helped LSU keep a lot of kids that would have otherwise gone out of state. It's also given our baseball program a nice advantage with NCAA scholarship restrictions

That may have been the case in the past but not any more. I believe the LA GRAD Act requires LSU to raise OOS tuition to a certain percentage point in comparison to its southern peers IIRC
eta: This is a good graphic I saw in the White Crimson

So the overwhelming majority of students are top 10%
I knew that, thats why I assumed the oos students needed something in order to get in, like legacy.
It is actually illegal in the State of Texas for legacy status to be considered as an admission criteria for Public Schools. That was changed a decade or so ago and has cost A&M a lot of cash from some big time alums that had kids or grandkids that came up just short on the requirements. I know one donor who has given 7 figures to A&M and his Grandson was denied and it caused a lot of ruffled feathers. Kid ended up going to Blinn and transferring in though.

Ole Miss is 59% in-state. This year's freshman class is 48%. Texas, Tennessee, and Georgia in that order.
Ole Miss is a safety school for Texas kids.

Louisiana has TOPS
Almost want to move back to LA just for this and let my kid attend LSU just for the cost savings. I have been saving for him to go to Bama since he was born and I could hit the lottery if I moved back home and he got TOPS, but my job will not let me leave H-town.
Bama recruits our high schools hard. Used to be, nobody even thought about UA around here. I guess that is the Saban influence.

This should be the case for any public school.
I think when you apply to Florida legacy helps- my daughter didn't have the 4.0 average her class carried. She did have a kick arse essay.
Daughter #2 might end up in TAMU or Texas. But she is applying to Florida too. We shall see. She has the grades and tests scores for any of them, but she isn't getting her act together and finishing her darn applications
