Also, some states have been making concerted efforts to retain their own good students (Georgia, Florida, and Texas come to mind.) By doing this, more students aren't being accepted and have to look out of state. A lot of Florida kids that would have had no problem getting into UF 10 years ago get a rejection letter now. Texas (UT) generally takes only top 10% students. There are a ton of very good students from these states that have a better shot (education-wise) by crossing the border.
