<p>Could someone tell me which SEC schools are easier to get accepted into. Maybe even rank the schools from easiest to hardest to get accepted into.</p>
<p>why dont you tell us your stats and your home state.</p>
<p>It is harder to get into UF if you are oos. </p>
<p>vandy is the hardest to get into. </p>
<p>Miss St, LSU and Ole Miss are probably the easiest.</p>
<p>also tell us how much your family will pay.</p>
<p>well my weighted gpa is 3.1 (will most likely be higher after this last semester)
and unweighted gpa is 2.9 (which will be higher too). My ACT is 20 and SAT is 1470. I’m retaking both in june and i live in tennessee. However, my parents are going to retire and move when I graduate high school so they have been thinking about alabama, florida, south carolina so I should get in state tuition after my freshman year.</p>
<p>Well if you go by academic rankings these are easiest to hardest:
- Ole Miss
- Mississippi State
- Louisiana State University
- University of Arkansas
- university of Kentucky
- University of South Carolina
- University of Tennessee
- University of Missouri
- Auburn
- University of Alabama
11.Texas A & M - University of Georgia
- University of Florida
- Vanderbilt</p>
<p>If you took the specified college prep curriculum, you meet the automatic admission threshold for Ole Miss out-of-state applicants (2.50 HS GPA with either 20 ACT or 940 SAT CR+M).

<p>However, you need to check whether you and your parents can afford the price.</p>
<p>
You need to check the residency requirements for each of those schools. Google residency and the school name. Some colleges will not consider you in-state at any time if you start as an OOS student. At others your parents may have to live in-state for more than one year. I don’t know if any of those colleges fit in those categories but the only way to know is to check the web sites or call the financial aid depts.</p>
<p>I think I can be a resident of alabama after one year immediately perceding the date of registration if my parents move there. Does this sound right? Can anyone verify?</p>
<p>State universities have web pages describing the state residency policies. For example:
<a href=“Residency for Tuition Purposes – The Office of the University Registrar – The University of Alabama | The University of Alabama”>http://registrar.ua.edu/policies/residency/</a></p>
<p>Read them carefully, and be aware that they may vary.</p>
<p>Yeah that’s the site I read and it sounds good to me. Does it look like i should get in state tuition after 1 year if my parents move to Alabama?</p>
<p>
So, if you enter the university as a non resident and your parents move later, NO you will not be considered as a resident for tuition purpose. However, it you wait and enroll at the university AFTER your parents have moved (ie., valid address, new driver’s license, new property registration, etc, etc) you will be considered a resident for tuition purposes.</p>
<p>Other universities may have different policies.</p>
<p>MYO…</p>
<p>Im not sure that is true. IF the parents move to Alabama, then why wouldn’t that be sufficient??</p>
<p>that said, it would be better just to delay applying for a year, then it would be for sure.</p>
<p>besides, why pay OOS for one year. would the parents even be willing to pay that much for one year?</p>
<p>Yeah idk i’m going to look more into it. Also if anyone knows if this will work for any other SEC school please let me know. </p>
<p>M2CK: the way I read this is that if the student was registered as OOS as a freshman, s/he’d have to prove s/he no longer in Alabama primarily to study. However being in college full time is kind of contradictory with that. </p>
<p>bigmike: we gave you one example. Now it’s up to you to do your due diligence. Type “residency for tuition purpose” “in state residency” + U of … in google
and read. :)</p>
<p>Its a pretty serious decision for parents to move into a State just for in state tuition purpose. Make sure to discuss in detail with the target University before making such a move and if possible, get some thing in writing from the U. that if your parents move on Day x, you will be consider in state on Day Y. The residency rules in writing maybe interpolated by different person with different results. </p>
<p>myo…</p>
<p>while I agree if the student were independent, it would be an issue, but the fact that the parents moved there would seem to be adequate to show that he is not just going in that state for education, but because parents moved there. His parents should move there as soon as he graduates from HS.</p>
<p>however, since OOS costs are sooo high, it would make better sense to sit out a year, and get instate rates from the get-go. </p>
<p>bigmike, can your parents easily pay $30k+ for your first year of college - while retired and living on a lesser income?</p>
<p>Hopefully this is thread is flame. All SEC schools other than Vandy are easy to get into. </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>I guess that depends on how you define “easy” and what your individual stats are. Obviously, plenty of kids don’t get admitted to them.</p>
<p>These are the most recent admissions rates for SEC schools:</p>
<p>East
Florida (44%)
Georgia (56%)
Kentucky (67%)
Missouri (81%)
South Carolina (61%)
Tennessee (67%)
Vanderbilt (14%)</p>
<p>West
Alabama (53%)
Arkansas (63%)
Auburn (77%)
LSU (76%)
Mississippi (61%)
Mississippi State (69%)
Texas A&M (67%)</p>
<p>I think the SEC needs to work more on their Geography majors.
East - Missouri
West - Alabama
:)) </p>
<p>Missouri and TAMU were added two years ago. One of them had to go East. It’s ok, Alabama is everywhere, and Missouri doesn’t know geography anyway.</p>
<p>BTW, Notre Dame is in the Atlantic Coast Conference, Creighton is in the Big East, Colorado is in the Pacific 12…the whole college sports world needs some geography help.</p>
<p>Mathematics too. The B1G has way more than ten teams…</p>
