Reply to comment by SirAidandRinglocks 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

Considering the admission requirements on the web site are lower than most high schools' graduation requirements, probably. The only thing stopping a rising high school senior from being eligible is the fourth year of English (which some creative and/or motivated kids can get through doubling up on English courses if the high school will let it fly).

There's been a big shift towards wealthier out of state students in recent years

Vermont has the lowest dollar and per capita support for higher ed in the country, state contribution is something like 5% of the budget, where in other states it’s 20-40%.

This forces a reliance on tuition dollars to stay afloat, leading to heavy out of state recruitment.

Back about 30 years ago UVM was caught accepting out of state students over in state students in order to get the higher tuition from them. UVM also say if you move to VT to attend UVM, even if you rent or buy a house, you are charged out of state tuition.

In state students are more likely to get accepted. They just get way, way more out of state applicants than in state applicants.
