Hey all,
I've been trying to find this online, but so far my search hasn't yielded any fruit. Anyone here maybe be able to guide me as to where to look ? I just need to understand which schools are heavy IS-takers, and which not so much. I realize that there are some schools that don't take any int'ls, but for the ones that do.. I still need to understand if its a very small proportion (relative to US citizens/PRs) or not.
Please do help!

UMDNJ, also public, has an in-state preference

no. It does not.
If you are out of state, there is no preference. You will pay out of state tuition for 1 year. After your first year, show your lease agreement that proves that you have been a NJ resident for 1 year, have a NJ drivers license and if your car is your own, have a NJ registration, then you are considered to be in state and will be given in state tuition.
Again. No. UMDNJ has no IS or OOS preference.

Ok, so your saying that UMDNJ does have IS preference?
lol.

There is no convincing you so you believe what you believe and I will leave it at that. If you want to apply, apply. If you do not, do not. Good luck.
Who said there is no convincing me? Geez. I asked the question, because like many others here, the data seems to me to be overwhelmingly supportive of the fact that UMDNJ disporportionately selects for in-state applicants, by a great margin. So I figured there must be something we're all not getting here, and I looked to your firsthand knowledge about the school for an explanation. Had you offered any kind of logical reason for your statement I certainly would've accepted it. All you explained was the residency requirement for getting in-state status after first year, but that doesn't clarify anything about the admissions statistics.
And, obviously, I will not be applying because I am already done with the application cycle and have joined PCOM's entering class. But I do recall, when working with my pre-med advisor last summer to narrow down a list of schools, she felt strongly that my chances at UMDNJ were slim precisely because they are a public state school and I am not a NJ resident. I think a lot of us are confused by your statements versus the apparent data and were just looking for some kind of explanation. Sorry I asked.
I didn't look up stats myself, but I pretty much took it as IS preference when schools had HUGE discrepancies between IS ond OOS tuition. Ex: MSUCOM IS tuition-$28,462 ; MSUCOM OOS tuition-$63,659
