Reply to comment by justreadthearticle in VT reporters : don't just repeat UVM admin press releases. Ask questions, like what will they cut to cover this? Will it comes from admin or teaching and student services? by RandolphCarter15
I don't know if this is actually true, but it makes sense to preferentially accept and educate some students that have family ties to the state even if out-of-staters have better scores. Students from Vermont are more likely to stay in the state after college. It is in the state's interest to have a better educated workforce living here even if they're not the best and brightest in the nation.
On the other hand, there are benefits to admitting some highly qualified students from out of state, so a balance needs to be struck. A rising tide lifts all boats.
