In-state only

Does anyone have a comprehensive list of schools that discriminate against out of state applicants. I realize I can find this one-by-one but it occured to me that someone may have already created a consolidated list.

I created a spreadsheet with the AMSA survey results from last year, its not great b/c the sample is very small for some schools but its interesting, PM me if you want a copy (I assume its ok to distribute, its just copied from the AMSA website).

Thanks

Public schools.

Public schools.

but they need a close look since many public schools interview a good number of OOS applicants

also, that's untrue since SUNY upstate does not prefer state residents

Public schools in Texas, Oklahoma, Louisiana, and New Mexico.

Those are the only ones that I can speak for.

I think that's the best answer you'll get. And I think shools say they give preference to instate, rather than discriminating against those out of state.

Instead of looking at which schools have strong instate preference, why don't you pick the schools you want to apply to, read their profile and compare the rationof applicants:accepted for instate and out of state. I think that should give you a good idea of preference.

By the way, there are private schools that give instate preference too. Wake Forest and Keck are examples.

"Public schools" is a decent generalization, but not totally accurate. This is a good link for all your applicant v. matriculant needs:

As you can see, most of the public state schools are very selective about OOS applicants, but schools like UMich (lucky me 🙄 ), Albany, Ohio State, Penn State, and so on aren't so biased, while you're very lucky to get into a UC from the outside.

Keep in mind that all state schools are going to accept an inordinate in-state students compared to the number of in-state applicants, but that doesn't mean that some aren't worth applying to.

Arizona, Massachusetts, Nevada, Colorado, Utah, Hawaii, New Mexico

All take very few, if any (Arizona, Mass.), Out-of-State applicants.

I found the MSAR helpful, but still not as comprehensive as I would have liked when it comes to this exact question. Because you have to look at the numbers and compute the percentages yourself in order to decide if it's worth the risk.

USF usually takes a few OOS every year.

 

[SeminoleFan3]

FSU doesn't take OOS students.

All schools in the University of California system. They take a relatively small number of out of staters but those people most likely had amazing applications. If all things were equal, UC's will choose the in-state resident (per UCSD's website).

But like someone said above, the MSAR would be a quicker way to find these schools rather than searching websites, and calling up schools.
