<p>I used to live in Minnesota. I moved in the middle of my sophomore year. I had lived there since 7th grade before that. I really want to go to the U of M, but paying out of state seems a little silly since I'll only have been gone for 2 1/2 years. Is there any way to get around paying out of state?</p>
<p>You are considered “in-state” for whatever state you live in now because that is where your parents live and pay taxes.</p>
<p>Does UMinn give any scholarships?</p>
<p>What are your stats?</p>
<p>What state are you in? Does your state have any agreements with Minn.</p>
<p>Well U of M gives scholarships but that was kind of my question. If there are any that would cover that cost or get me in state.</p>
<p>I have a 4.2, 1860 SAT, AP Classes, Lots of extracurriculars etc.</p>
<p>And I live in Idaho, which has no agreements :(</p>
<p>to bad. You can’t. You must live a year instate before you go to the college (ie: your senior year must be there)</p>
<p>Wow, that sucks. Sorry about your situation.</p>
<p>“You must live a year instate before you go to the college (ie: your senior year must be there)”
So if someone lived out-of-state for 17 years and spent the last year in-state, they would get in-state tuition?
If someone lived in-state for 17 years and left the last years, they would get out-of-state tuition?</p>
<p>The rule seems a bit unfair don’t ya think?</p>
<p>^^^ The question is typically not whether you deserve to pay the lower tuition rate. It’s “Of which state are you a resident?” You determine residence by establishing your domicile in that state. Otherwise, schools would be in an endless process of weighing the minutia of each student’s life story and determining how compelling their claim to in-state tuition might be.</p>
<p>See if you can look up any Academic Common Market style programs similar to the Midwestern Higher Education Compact but for the purpose of getting in-state tuition reduction.</p>

<pre><code>Middle 50% of First-Year Students at UMinn
</code></pre>
<p>SAT Critical Reading: … 520 - 670<br>
SAT Math: … 600 - 710<br>
SAT Writing: … 530 - 650
ACT Composite: … 24 - 29 </p>
<p>Scholarships are usually given to students whose scores are within the top 25% of the college. The better scholarships are usually for students whose scores are within the top 10%</p>
<p>For UMinn, the students in the top 25% have SAT scores of about 2050 and higher. The students in the top 10% probably have scores above 2200. </p>
<p>Since your scores are average for UMinn, it’s not likely that you would get a scholarship from them.</p>
<p>If you want to go to school in another state, you should retake the SAT (and take the ACT) and look for schools that will give you scholarships for your stats…</p>
<p>Idaho? Check out the Western University Exchange program: [Western</a> Undergraduate Exchange (WUE) | Western Interstate Commission for Higher Education](<a href=“http://wiche.edu/wue]Western”>Save On Tuition | Western Undergraduate Exchange (WUE)) </p>
<p>*">Students who are residents of WICHE states are eligible to request a reduced tuition rate of 150% of resident tuition at participating two- and four-year college programs outside of their home state.</p>

<p>BOISE!!! - - - - State!</p>
<p>The 2010-11 tuitions cost for in state is $12,369, and it’s $16669 for Out of state…that is NOT a terribly high cost for out of state students. The differential at UMinn is MUCH lower for OOS students than at MOST other flagship universities.</p>
