<p>If one completes 4yr undergrad as out-of-state student, will he/she be qualified as in-state student during graduate admission for that same state?</p>
<p>You would need to check the residency requirements of THAT state. Where my kids went to college, a grad student would have needed to live in the state for a year NOT attending college to establish residency. And work in that state, and set up a home in that state, and pay taxes to THAT state…</p>
<p>YMMV depending on the state.</p>
<p>It may also depend on the individual university and program you’re applying to. Some states allow each school/program to set its own parameters. As a generalization, elite programs/universities are more likely to be very picky about this than less selective ones.</p>
<p>Some schools would offer GA position to the graduate student and make them in state automatically disregarding where they went for undergraduate.</p>
<p>Bill…they don’t offer them instate RESIDENCY. They give them instate tuition as part of their grad school assistantship. There is a difference. Getting the instate cost for tuition as part of your assistantship does NOT require you to change your state of residence for other things if you are a permanent resident elsewhere.</p>
