<p>I'll be graduating from a high school out of state, but my parents and I are residents of Texas. 1) Would I be eligible for in-state tuition? 2) If so, would i be considered an in-state student? </p>
<p>I ask number two because I was concerned about A&M statistics on collegeboard that said 96% of the student body are in-state students and 4% are out of state.</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>just being a resident isnt enough, i think to be elligible for in state tuition theres more to it then that. im a resident of colorado, but couldnt get in state tuition there because i moved here more then a year ago. Texas is much more leniant about so if nothing else, you could always apeal for it.</p>
<p>If I'm not mistaken, most scholarships include a waiver of out-of-state tuition. You might want to call about this and see if you can get one of these.</p>
<p>I believe the rule is you have to had lived in Texas within the last year to be applicable for in-state tuition. The statistics you found on college board are not because A&M doesn't accept out of state applicants, but rather b/c of the large popularity of A&M within the state of Texas.</p>
<p>If you receive a scholarship (at least $1k), you will be considered as in-state regardless of your residency.</p>
<p>The issue is where your parents live and pay taxes, assuming they've been there for a while.. Are you attending a boarding school out of state, with your permanent address in Texas? Then you should be fine for in-state admission status. Or is there another explanation for your attending an out of state high school?</p>
