<p>I am a student in souther california who want to get into the University of Kansas and pay instate tuition. I have a 3.6 gpa and a 1700 on the SAT (taken only 1 time). Are there any programs out there other than midwest students seeking instate tuition</p>
<p>You want a privilege that the Kansas taxpayers have worked hard for in order to give to their students. Why do you feel entitled to that? </p>
<p>That’s what “in-state” tuition means.</p>
<p>Who in the world would rather go to Kansas instead of UCs which are ranked very highly. You’ll have to pay out of state tuition (because you are from out of state) so you might as well just stay in CA, pay less, and go to a better school.</p>
<p>What T26E4 said. Unless your parents move there (possibly, I can’t remember if that qualifies you for in-state), you aren’t getting in-state tuition. It’s not something you can apply for, it’s something you get as a benefit for being a resident.</p>
<p>The residency policies are published right on the website. Read through them to find out whether or not you could qualify.</p>
<p>…or just Google.</p>
<p>Your parents usually need to have lived in the state for a few years (or maybe you have to have completed at least one year of hs in given state) for you to qualify for in state tuition.</p>
<p>Check out the scholarships offered at KU ([Affordability</a> - KU Admissions](<a href=“http://admissions.ku.edu/affordability/]Affordability”>http://admissions.ku.edu/affordability/)), I don’t know your SAT breakdown but you might qualify for $3,000 off a year. If you bring your scores up a bit, you’ll qualify for $9,300 off a year.</p>
<p>But as others above have said, you have so many options just in California. And if you don’t want to stay close to home, come up to the Bay Area, it’s a completely different state. Your stats may not be good enough for a top UC, but if you take the CC route and transfer, you could graduate for a top UC and pay a lot less than you would at KU. And personally, Cal/UCLA > KU.</p>
<p>I do not feel a sense of “ENTITLEMENT” nor am I trying to take anything away from kansas tax payers/resisdents. I want to broaden my life’s experience and want to go to school in the midwest. It would be an honor to be a jayhawk. My parents are fed up with what is happening to california colleges and their exhorbent cost. My father is a teacher and I agree with him that going to school out of state would be best for me. He graduated from KU and speaks highly of his college experience. Just looking to save costs. UC’s and their fees are equitable with out of state tuition and living expeses. Not interested in going to school in Cali.</p>
<p>My apologies to you brodie. Sincerely. Best of luck to you. I mean it.</p>

<p>KU is ~8000 more per year out of state than UCSD is in-state</p>
<p>If you can afford the OOS tuition than go there but if you can’t then you will have to find some other way to make it affordable because you aren’t getting in-state tuition</p>
<p>thanks for the response!</p>
<p>your mistaken. out of state with room and board is 32k and uc schools are about 30k+…where do you get your 8 k more a year including room and board?</p>
<p>@brodie, I looked it up myself, and UCSD is $24k if living at home, less 4k if you don’t count living at home as costing you room and board, and either 29k or 30k if living on or off campus. Therefore, it’s still cheaper than your quoted UoK oos cost. It may, of course, be more expensive for other UCs, but they do have a better reputation than UoK, so you’re paying for that, in a sense.</p>
<p>thanks for your insight…but no thank you. CA Universities are raping the public and are simply catering to out of country and state applicants. Getting out of here and hope all who recieve these entilements and benefits find a way to carry the state out of its horrific, abyssmal financial crisis. No disrespect!</p>
<p>it is 12k to dorm on top of tuition…</p>

<p>You may be feeling your father’s frustration but this is in no way accurate of the California public school system (I assume you’re talking about public schools, I don’t think Stanford and the Claremont colleges are “raping the public”) but you have to check your facts first. CSUs, in the fall of 2011, had a total of 426,534 enrolled students (all CSUs total). Out of those students, only 15,542 of them were out of state/country. Sorry, but I don’t see how that is “catering to out of country and state applicants”. ([CSU</a> | AS | CSU Origin of Fall Term Enrollment - 2011](<a href=“http://www.calstate.edu/as/stat_reports/2011-2012/for02.htm]CSU”>http://www.calstate.edu/as/stat_reports/2011-2012/for02.htm))</p>
<p>Yes, UCLA has upped its out of state admission this year to 12.3% ([UC</a> sees uptick in admissions of foreign, out-of-state students - Los Angeles Times](<a href=“http://articles.latimes.com/2012/apr/18/local/la-me-uc-admissions-20120418]UC”>UC admits more foreign, out-of-state students)) but have you ever thought that that is due to students like you who refuse to attend school in state? They still need students and maybe they knew they’d have less in state applicants (which might be due to the financial situation CA is in, but that is not out of state applicants or even UCs’ fault). </p>
<p>And while KU may be less expensive, the caliber of the school is a lot lower. Cal and UCLA are expensive, yes, but they are of the highest caliber public university you will find anywhere in the state. You are still paying less for Cal/UCLA than you would at many private universities of equal caliber (or any private university, really, when paying sticker price). </p>
<p>Your assumptions are based on frustrations, which is fine, and inaccuracies, which, quite frankly, is not, and you have to learn to do some research before you openly accuse CA of rape. You say you mean no disrespect but you’re just like anyone who says something followed by “no offense” and expect that to take away any hurt feelings. </p>
<p>Yes, I am a CA resident, but no, I do not attend a public CA school. I chose to attend an out of state university for a variety of reasons, none of which I’d like to express on this thread. But thrust me, they were a lot better than the inaccurate assumptions you are using.</p>
