<p>I'm going to apply to Emory University this Fall and am wondering if I'd be counted as an in-state student. </p>
<p>My family and I resides in Arizona but recently, my father got a job in Atlanta, Georgia. Some people have told him that after he works for one year in Georgia (which would be by the July of 2010), I would be counted as an in-state student.However, I wouldn't be moving to Atlanta for my senior year in high school; thus, I'd be applying for Emory from a high school in Arizona. Does this then make me an out-of-state student??</p>
<p>Has anyone encountered this type of issue before??</p>
<p>Another question:
Does Emory Univeristy accept more in-state students than out-of-state students in general?</p>
<p>Emory is a private university. There is no difference in tuition for in-state or out of state, and little difference in admissions practice - it matters where you went to high school, not where your father lives.</p>
<p>In-state v. out of state is only really relevant for public colleges & universities.</p>
<p>Actually, a Georgia resident who qualifies for a Hope Scholarship saves about $3,000 off Emory tuition. It does make a difference if you are a Georgia resident, even for Emory. However, in this situation, I do not know if Emory would count you as In State. This one is worth a phone call to Emory.</p>
