Bump. Took my DAT yesterday and was happy with the results. Would it be too late in the game to consider applying to UNC?

I think it's too late for UNC as they accept very few OOS applicants, and even though you scored well, your results will only be official in ~3 weeks (maybe sooner). If you have the money, give it a shot, but I wouldn't get your hopes up too high. The other schools look good, but I'd add some more like maybe UCSF and UCLA (instate tuition after a year), and maybe a few other private ones that you'd attend because it is getting pretty late in the cycle (schools will only consider you complete by the end of the month probably, and then have to review your application in its entirety before you can receive an invite).

Hope this helps!

Thank you! I guess I won't apply to UNC. I was unaware that UCSF and UCLA did in-state tuition after a year. Is there a resource that shows which schools offer this? I've only heard of OSU offering in-state after a year, until now.

There are a few: Schools and changing residency: the list

I don't know of any hard resource but that list is the best one we have on the forum. Other than that, one would have to look into every public school to see if things changed, but I think that list is pretty accurate.

Wonderful. Thank you!
