In-state vs. out of state

<p>My daughter will be applying to University of MD in September ‘13. At the same time, my husband’s company is relocating him to Maryland. She won’t be a MD resident when she applies but she will be a MD resident when she attends. My husband will have been working in MD for a year by the time she begins her first semester Sept ‘14. My question is: Are we able to apply in September of ’13 as an in-state applicant even though she doesn’t live there just yet? She visited MD and it’s the school she loves but as an out-of-state student, it will be much more difficult to afford.</p>

<p>She would have to sign up for classes over a year after your husband moves. There is an appeal process for the initial ruling. I would talk to the admissions office about this. It can’t be the first time they’ve run into it.</p>
