<p>MY d is a junior with a 3.2 GPA and low PSAT scores. She is being tutored in an attempt to raise them for this spring. She goes to High school in southern california. I know that her chances to get in are quite low. It appears that I will be relocating my business to Indiana this summer and moving there. My wife and Daughter will remain in Ca. for a year so that my d can graduate HS with her friends.</p>

<p>My question.. Will she now be considered in state as her parent will reside in the state, and how are admission standards different for instate kids. Will it be easier for her to get in. Is there an instate minimum threshold for instate kids. If any local Indiana people can shed light on in state admissions and any of the above, I would appreciate it.</p>

<p>I don’t think she’ll be considered instate if she lived in California, even if you lived here, so tuition would be quite high. You should call and ask about that.</p>

<p>As far as admissions goes, they say their middle 50% GPA of accepted students is 3.4–3.9. They use the GPA off of the transcript - does your D’s high school have weighted or unweighted on her transcript? Middle 50% SAT = 1090-1310 and ACT = 25-29. </p>

<p>What kinds of things does she like to study? </p>

<p>I suggest you call them and discuss the situation - see if there is someway for her to meet residency requirements and still complete HS in California.</p>

<p>Is you wife moving to Indiana, too. If so, it seems like your daughter would get in-state tuition. The rules below mention “parents” over and over, instead of just “parent”; so it may make a difference if only one moves to Indiana, but I don’t know with confidence how to interpret these rules.</p>

<p>[Residency</a> Information: Office of the Registrar: Indiana University Bloomington](<a href=“http://registrar.indiana.edu/resiinfo.shtml]Residency”>http://registrar.indiana.edu/resiinfo.shtml)</p>

<p>Students under the age of 21 who claim Indiana residence based upon the establishment by parents of their residence in Indiana must provide a notarized statement from the parents. This statement must be written after the parents move to Indiana and should indicate the residence, the reason for the change in residence, and information concerning the disposition of their former residence. In addition, this statement should include the name(s), address(es) and telephone number(s) of the parents’ employer(s). If their move is the result of a change in employment, we will need information concerning both former and current employers. Please note: Unless parents are divorced or legally separated, or one parent is deceased, the notarized statement must include information for both parents. If parents are divorced or legally separated, copies of appropriate court documents must be provided.</p>

<p>Students who are under 21 years of age and unemancipated are eligible for resident student status if their parents or legal guardians reside in Indiana. Unemancipated students under 21 years of age whose parents or legal guardians move to Indiana can be classified as resident students without first living in the state for 12 months.</p>

<p>I would call and ask what the story is…</p>

<p>Here are the rules in more detail. The parents seem also to have to show that they are not moving to Indiana in order to establish residency for their kid, which would probably be easier to do moving from California, say, than moving from Union City, Ohio to Union City, Indiana, which are literally across the street from each other.

<p>IU is harder now for instate students to get into. They don’t seem to bend their requirements these days even for instate students with high gpa’s, per this report which is about two years old. IU is much tougher to get into now than it was four or five years ago. They hired a new enrollment manager about five years ago to get IU freshman standardized test scores up, and they have been wildly successful in doing exactly that.

<p>It might actually be easier to get in with low scores as a full-pay out of state student. You can check this thread to get an idea of what people have got in with lately. Some of the OOS students’ stats are not real high.

<p>I called admission office today. If I do move to Indiana, they will consider my daughter instate even if she finishes her high school in Ca. I think that because I would have moved 12-15 months before enrolling, there is no issue.</p>

<p>I am surprised to learn that instate standards are as high as OOS. I would have thought it was easier for instate. </p>

<p>Now I will have to see if the move happens this summer.</p>

<p>I don’t think there is any way to determine for certain whether it is easier for instate or OOS to get in, but on average it is more difficult for anyone now than than four or five years ago to get accepted.</p>

<p>These days the OOS tuition has become VERY important to the overall budget ios schools like IU, Mich, Wisconsin, UVa and now even the UC System. As it takes time to get lots of OOS kids on board it actually is easier if you are full pay OOS at some schools.</p>
