Hi all,
I'm wanting to know what your thoughts are about my situation. I'm an IS applicant to a big state school and am currently waitlisted there. I recently found out that I have been classified as an OOS applicant throughout the entire admissions process. Mind you, all the other schools I've applied to in this state have classified me as an IS applicant. I've reached out to the school and they have informed me that this cannot be changed until/unless I am admitted, after which I can change my status to IS once school starts. The admissions dept has said that IS vs. OOS will not affect me chance of getting an acceptance... but I have to wonder. While the school accepts approx. half IS and OOS students, many many more students are applying from OOS.
What are your thoughts? I find it hard to believe that this absolutely cannot be changed prior to (potential) matriculation, and also find it hard to believe it wouldn't affect my chance of admittance in the slightest.
Thoughts much appreciated!
