<p>Hey guys,</p>

<p>I was wondering what UT considers instate as far as tuition and admissions are concerned. Somebody told me that you have to be a Texas student for three years to be considered instate for admission, and have to have been living there for at least six months as far as residency/tuition go.</p>

<p>Can someone clarify this? I could be moving to Texas(probably Lago Vista), and since its easier to get in state rather than outofstate, it's important for me to know. </p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>Plus, it is really that much harder to get in outofstate? Or is it just that damn 10% rule?</p>

<p>I moved from California by myself to gain residency in Texas to go to UT. You have to be living here for a full 12 consecutive months before enrollment. There is also another requirement, 1. u either have to own a business or property in Texas, 2. you have to marry someone who is a Texas resident, 3. I forget the third one but its a hard one like the previous two, or 4. you have to be working for 12 consecutive months in Texas before enrollment, which I am doing. #4 works for me because I started work last August 21st, and classes start next fall on the 30th.</p>

<p>I would definitely consider gaining residency because u will be saving a buttload of money like I will be, plus u get a year off of school, plus u make a lot of money. By the time this year is up, I will be able to pay off the first 2 years of my college expenses, which definitely helps my parents and I.</p>

<p>Hold up, dude.</p>

<p>So you graduated from high school, took a year off, moved to Texas, worked, and after 12 months you applied to UT Austin as in-state? I'm assuming you applied after 12 months of living there, not applying first and then moving and working. Is this the best thing to do? I mean, can you even apply a year late, and does this affect your chances of getting in?</p>

<p>Was what you did(moving there) for admission, tuition, or both?</p>

<p>Thanks.</p>

<p>By the way, where from NorthCal are you from? I used to live in Redding for a while.</p>
