<p>Hello everyone,</p>
<p>I understand that the acceptance rates for transfer students are always higher amongst in-state student, but what if you've previously attended a school outside the state and later moved back in? I'm a Bay Area native who has high hopes of transferring to one of the top schools in California. If I spent my first 2 semesters of college in Bloomington, Indiana and the next 2 semesters in California, would I be considered just as much of an in-state student as everyone else who's entire education took place in California? Thank you for your help!</p>
