Which public state schools admit many out-of-state applicants?

This forum made possible through the generous support of SDN members, donors, and sponsors. Thank you.

It's all here in this report. You can see it for yourself. Look at Table 10. One caveat...UMDNJ gives in-state status to anyone who has a lease and a driver's license, so their stats are screwed.

Thanks for this link!

Does this caveat apply also to OSU or to MSU? Can a person easily acquire in-state for either of these public schools?

MSU's rules for in-state status are kind of "wishy-washy." They say that you don't necessarily have to have lived in the state for a year if you can prove that you intend to remain there as a resident. However, they also say that just living there for a year is not necessarily good enough either. But, I understand that you can pretty much re-petition for in-state status at any time. OSU's rules are tougher. They require a year of living in the state, but much like Texas, they also say that it cannot be a year as a full-time student. You have to have been gainfully employed during that year. To my knowledge, there is no other place as easy as UMDNJ about aquiring in-state status.

I don't think any of them accept that many OOS students.

Granted, not all of these are state schools, but the following list accepted more than 50% out-of-state students according to the latest statistics available:

ATSU/KCOM
AZCOM
CCOM
DMU-COM
KCUMB-COM
LECOM
PCSOM
TUCOM
UNECOM
VCOM
WVSOM

Out of ALL the students accepted to osteopathic schools, there were more OOS students than in-state.

I haven't experienced any "wishy-washy" rules for non-resident matriculants to the college. I'm a non-resident, so my tuition and fees are that of a non-resident no matter the actions I take following matriculation. If I was a resident for a year before matriculating, I'd be a resident and allowed in-state tuition/fees.
There is a non-resident scholarship, which is growing more competitive with the increase in class size. That has helped me, but it doesn't not decrease the amount to that of the in-state tuition/fees. However, the $15000 scholarship is only available for the first two years, not the third and fourth.
If you sign a contract for an in-state internship, I've been told a couple times that they will retroactively credit your account for in-state tuition. So they will refund your tuition/fees back to that of a resident. I haven't completely verified this, but I recall this being the case.
It's a great school, I enjoy the classes and feel I'm getting a superb education. My classmates are great and the administration care, although they aren't always as open as we'd like. Still, you'll be paying a lot to go here from out-of-state.
Hope that helps.
 
I have a question.... I'm still consider an instate student for UMDNJ. I was born and raise in NJ went to high school and college in NJ but moved to GA about a year ago.
 
Ok, last time, really

EVERYONE IS IN STATE IN NJ AS LONG AS YOU HAVE A LEASE/ADDRESS IN NJ AND AN NJ LICENSE

now captain, with your history of going to an NJ high school, I know you'll have access to scholarships that others originally from out of state aren't, and that may go for your college as well.
