Strong state ties?

[PressPforPi]

The threads I read regarding this were about 6 years old so I didn't know if this still applies, but what exactly constitutes a strong tie to a particular state?

(Keep in mind that I'm about two years out from applying, but I would like to have a general idea of what schools I should look into)

Examples:

• Brother recently relocated to Texas for an engineering job.
• Dad's family is from Tennessee.
• A lot of my grandmother's family reside in Kentucky (had a cousin graduate from U of K)
• I'm a Georgia resident so obviously I'll be applying to all the state schools here.

Do any of the above (besides being a GA resident) qualify as "strong state ties"?

The brother might work. A family vacation to visit Tennessee relatives annually while you grew up might work. Having attended school in a state might work. A fiancee from the state helps a lot. A parent residing in the state works best.
