Sorry that this is most likely a shorter question, maybe even one that’s blatantly obvious to others, but I couldn’t find or even know how to look it up. So, obviously applying to a school in state increases chances of admission; at the same time, a student would most likely pay less than non-residents.
My question is if I were to qualify as an in-state student in regards to tuition, in accordance to the specific college’s guidelines, would that extend towards admission/applications too? My uw gpa is on the lower end of the spectrum due to increased popularity of this school, and having an edge somewhere else would help. (I know, I know, scores, ec, and such) I would still be graduating and living in another state.
Thanks.
If you qualify for instate tuition, for example if your NCP lives in that state, I assume you’d be considered instate for admissions too, but they are obviously going to see that your high school is out of state and will likely mean you are compared against students from that school or area when they interpret your grades.
If you are awarded instate tuition because of a special program, I’d say you’d be considered in the OOS pool.
I live in Texas but would pay in-state tuition if I enrolled in some of the universities in bordering states. I would still be considered a out of state student even though I would be paying in-state tuition.
