State schools that only accept in-state?

Anyone know which state schools only (or mostly) accept in-state students?
I found info about the pharmcas schools on their website, but most of the state schools seem to be non-pharmcas.

I'm looking at the one-page narratives on the aacp website and reading the admissions pages at the different schools' websites...but this is getting tedious and taking forever!

as far as i know, almost all public state colleges are required to accept most of their students from in-state bc it is the state tax dollars that fund the school. i think UF accepted 10 MAX out of state students from 300 accepted.

Wisconsin accepts 90% in-state students.

UCSF and UCSD have no residency policies in CA.

Michigan gives preferential treatment to in-staters but the class is actually quite diverse (30+% out of state?)

Yeah, the public state universities tends to be tougher anywhere. The University of Nebraska Medical Center primarily takes Nebraska residents. 90% of the 65 student class is from Nebraska, meaning only 6-7 students are from out of state. Out-of-state applicants need at least a 3.5 to be considered. So, it's basically pointless to apply there unless you have super stats, connections, or some time in Nebraska.

I think the University of Iowa is much more friendly toward out-of-state residents given a relatively high number of non-Iowa residents at my interview session. I got into Iowa as a Nebraska resident, so I think that Iowa is a friendlier school toward non-Iowa residents.

Oregon State University accepts about 90% Oregon residents every year. Like an above poster said, state schools are for the most part always going to accept very high amount of instate applicants. They have a responsibility to their state.

University of Idaho also excepts over 90% instate.

You have to apply early and be a very strong applicant to get into most out of state schools.

Arkansas and Cincinatti are the only two schools that do not accept out of state applicants.

Jessica, you really, really need to exert some effort in familiarizing yourself with the AACP website. Most of the questions you've asked are answered there, in whole or in part. For example, a simple search on your part, would reveal this: http://www.aacp.org/site/page.asp?TRACKID=&VID=1&CID=377&DID=3613

If you look at the spreadsheet, you will see that there is a category labeled "Residency of Entering Students," with subcategories of "In-State," "Out-of-State," and "Foreign." Now, follow with your finger down to the school(s) you're thinking of applying to, and see what their numbers are. It's not so tough.

When you're done gleaning information from that page, consider going back to the page immediately preceeding: http://www.aacp.org/site/page.asp?TRACKID=&VID=1&CID=377&DID=3613 so that you can see what information is available on the website that services the educational and professional goals of the profession you wish to pursue.

Seriously. Look it up, for pete's sake. I know you're young and curious, and it's great that you have lots of questions, but I think that once you learn where and how to research some of the answers yourself, you'll find that you'll have a whole new set of deep, thoughtful, relevant questions to ask the professionals in here.

I heart Pacific Oregon is not taking any out of state students this year

Sorry, I didn't realize I needed to be so selective when asking questions on an internet forum. I have been looking at the aacp site, but there is A LOT of information there and it's difficult to navigate when you're looking for something specific.

Also, I'd rather ask questions on here b/c the answers include the benefit of someone's personal experience, advice, and conversation with peers. If you feel the answers to my questions are easily found online and do not deserve a response, then you are welcome to refrain from answering them. I'm not sure that kind of ‘expertise' you have or what warrants a ‘thoughtful' question, but plenty of other people were willing to give their input.

I really hope that you're not a pharmacist, b/c if you can't tolerate stupid questions, then you couldn't be a very good one. People skills. I hear they're important.

What I am, or what I am not, really is (1) not your business, and (2) not relevant to your questions in this and other threads. I will give your high-schooler's knowledge of what's important all the due consideration it deserves.

I'm trying to help you. Part of growing up and being able to face the big, bad world out there is learning how to fend for yourself. It's pretty darn rude to ask others to do research for you that you could easily do yourself. Now fend your way into the search engine.

If you expect me to believe that you've actually been to the AACP website, I recommend you learn to forumlate a question in more lucid terms: "I saw on the AACP website where U of ____ accepted almost 30% out-of-staters, but the most recent stats are from 2005. Does anyone know where I might look to find more recent information?" .....sounds a whole lot better than anything that essentially reads "I have a question but I'm too bored/lazy/incompetent to look it up. Will those of you who clearly have nothing to do that's more important than meet my needs go fetch me the answer?"

The search engine is your friend, as are the professional websites. Just for your own knowledge, when I sat on adcoms and other professional boards, it was very easy to make "first cuts"- they were the ones who didn't do their homework.

Do your homework.

 

[Brandie28]

do you know where to find more recent stats on that?

Simmer down, simmer down. The suggestion to search on your own was a good suggestion, people like to help those who first try hard to help themselves. I think some people get tired of people asking what schools are easiest to get into. This question essentially fit into that category. "Which school is easiest for out of state students to get into?" If you decide to use the search function you will find a wealth of knowledge.

To answer your question, almost all state schools are going to admit their "own", there will be a few "token" out of stater folks though.

Crystapharm- I am not sure where you heard Pacific University will only be accepting Oregon residents this coming year but I am almost positive that there is no truth to that statement.

Good luck, remember all the time you spend looking for the easy schools to get into could be spent making yourself a better candidate......

I can’t help but respond, even though this is a ridiculous conversation, but hopefully my response will be much more respectful than how you’ve chosen to address me.

First of all, I didn’t ask ‘what you are’.

Second, I’m a college grad. I could list test scores and credentials to try to prove my intelligence, but similar to your statement, “what I am” is none of your business.

I’m not asking anyone to ‘do research for me’. I’m asking for the opinions, advice, and personal experience of my peers. I don’t know why this upsets you so much, but if you don’t want to “do research for me”, don’t answer my questions! You don’t run these forums and it’s not your job to determine which questions are worthy and which are not. 90% of the questions asked on this forum can be found online somewhere, or have been answered a hundred times before, or are just too personal to be answered at all. The point is that this is a FORUM that allows for communication and discussion…if no one asked questions, then uh-oh, the forum wouldn’t exist.

I have been on the aacp website, which is clearly stated in my original post. I’ve only been looking at the one-page narratives for each school though and hadn’t noticed that table with the out-of-state info. But thanks for posting the link!!!!! Very helpful. Could do without the condescending bs though.

Oh, I didnt mean it as an 'easy way out' kind of thing. I just didnt want to waste $50-$100 applying to a school that isnt accepting out of state students. It'd just be pointless.

I was trying to find the answer on my own by reading the narratives about each school. But I thought there must be a faster way, so I asked on here!

I meant Oregon State not Pacific Oregon sorry.....I just check my saved email from Nicole:

We have only accepted one transfer student into the PharmD program in the last five years. It is an extremely rare occurrence. Incidentally, the student was from California.



Please be in touch if you have other questions.
