Cofc2021

I have submitted my Application EA for college of Charleston. It is one of my top schools but it is out of state, does being oos influence my chance of admission? I am really excited to see if I get accepted or not, its a great school in a great city. Has anyone else from the state of Maryland applied there EA? Also, how is the financial aid (fafsa)? I know being oos the tuition is higher vs instate tuiton,and having some help fafsa would be nice.
Thanks!

CoC is a public institution so their first loyalty is to SC residents. That being said, if you were full pay, you might get better consideration. Otherwise, they’ll likely be stingy with you – making it unaffordable for you to attend.

@T26E4 They do offer merit aid with high stats. Without knowing the OPs stats , it is hard to say how much aid he may be eligible for or that he’d get better consideration if he were full pay . We also don’t know what the OPs budget is so its hard to determine what is or isn’t affordable .
