		unexpected on June 23, 2008 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Ask YC: what non-top-tier college to apply for? UT-Austin is impossible to get into if you're out-of-state. The acceptance rate for out-of-state kids is lower than Harvard's overall acceptance rate.

If this is true, I'm not sure how CS is different. One of the CS profs involved in the Turing program told me they make a real effort to bring in out-of-state kids especially because they want it to be a national program. That may also be true of the department in general.
