<p>I live in Tennessee, and I haven't found any in-state colleges that I really like. I visited UGA and Auburn and i liked both of them, but the OOS state costs are expensive.</p>
<p>I was researching on how to get in-state, and came across the Academic Common Market. From the website I can understand what it is but i was wondering what everyone knows about it and if it is worth it to apply?</p>
<p>We were also looking into doing this for my daughter. It’s legit! From what I read (and hopefully others will tell you more), I believe you can apply if a particular major of study isn’t offered at one of your instate schools. My daughter is interested in majoring in Japanese and there are very few options for schools instate. I am not sure, but I think it would be difficult to get your application approved if you planning on studying something more common (business, psych, bio, etc.). Hoping you get more responses though --I am just now starting to look into ACM myself.</p>
<p>I have also been researching Academic Common Market. I am from Oregon but Oregon doesn’t offer Aerospace Engineering and out of state schools are way too expensive. Right now the only Academic Common Market program is in some of the southern states from what I’ve learned.</p>
<p>Some schools don’t participate.</p>
<p>And…You have to choose a major that isn’t offered at ANY of your instate publics. That can be hard since many flagships and land-grant schools carry many majors.</p>
<p>if you go to the website and you put in your home state, </p>
<p>For a Tenn resident, the only approved major at Auburn is Architecture, for Alabama it’s Dance, for UGa it’s Film Studies, for UMaryland it’s Jewish Studies or Chinese… …</p>
<p>Jki…do you know if DC participates? Don’t DC students get an allowance of $10k per year to use at other schools or something like that.</p>
<p>Rastillo…I think you need to look at WUE for your area.</p>
<p>bridget…what would your major be?</p>
<p>And…remember, an OOS school isn’t gong to treat you as an instate school for FA purposes. so, unless you qualify for a merit scholarship, you may have to pay all costs.</p>
