<p>I live in NC but would like to attend college in FL. Does living out of state have any effect on acceptance likelihood?</p>
<p>Frequently it does, depending on the school. And you will have to pay OOS rates which are very high. Can you parents afford that?</p>
<p>It will matter if you’re applying to public schools since they are funded by their states and have higher admission standards and tuition costs for out of state residents.</p>
<p>Well I have a Full Army ROTC scholarship so tuition is not an issue. I was just curious</p>
<p>Some state schools are trying to become more “national” by introducing more people from outside the state.</p>
<p>Yes, it can. Public universities were formed with the purpose of educating their nearby population; that’s their function. Thus, some colleges (especially top-tiers, like Berkeley, Michigan, UNC) set quotas for how many they will accept out of state (some say 75% should be in-state, for example). If it’s a popular school, the competition for the other 25% means it is much harder to get into.</p>
<p>Every public school has a certain percentage of in state students they are required to teach because they receive tax money</p>
<p>If you’re thinking of a private school in FL, though, it doesn’t affect it.</p>
