<p>I'm a sophmore at a CC in illinois, and I'm planning to double major in Accounting/Finance and I'm debating which school would be a better for Undergraduate business, my chances of getting in, and where you think I would like it better.</p>

<p>My gpa is going to be somewhere between 3.5 to 3.8, I have an ACT of 33, I'm president of the Business Club at my CC and I have 30 semester hours worth of AP's at both schools. At the end of this year I'm planning to relocate to one of the schools and sit out of school for a year to get my residency. I understand you need to be financially independent and not attend school for a year, so does anyone have any experience on the difficulty on getting residency at either place? And what are my chances of getting in to either place?</p>

<p>Basically, my question is where do you think I'd be better suited for my major, based on the criteria of me getting in and getting residency. I've done alot of research on the topic, such as rankings, job placement, endowment, ratio of girls to guy (:P), etc. But I'd like some first hand opinions, and I would greatly appreciate them. </p>

<p>If you have any questions, or can offer any insight whatsoever, please do.</p>

<p>Residency doesn’t work that way. If you’re under 24, your residency is typically that of your parents. To be independent, you need to have moved to the new state for some demonstrable reason other than to attend college, you need to have an income of your own sufficient to meet all your life needs, you cannot be receiving any financial support from outside the state, and you cannot be claimed on anyone else’s taxes. Even if you’re over 24, you have to be able to demonstrate that you didn’t move to the new state primarily for the purpose of attending college.</p>

<p>Right I understand that. Independent on taxes, 12 months living off my own income, register to vote, join maybe charities or groups, and i wouldn’t be going to school for a full 16 months. I move to the state to literally relocate, follow the guidelines, and if I can get instate residency great; if I don’t I take out loans. Its a gamble I’m willing to take.</p>

<p>It would probably be good to have a job lined up before moving to the state rather than moving and then looking.</p>
