State Universities That Offer In-State Tuition for OOS with High Stats

[Anonymous]

I was surprised to learn that the University of South Carolina offers high stat kids (it's spelled out pretty well what stats are needed) in-state tuition. This is remarkable that they do it and in their transparency. Do other state schools do this (offer the option and advertise it in a very transparent way)?

I believe Alabama does too

My kid got this from Florida State, but I don't remember if it was spelled out on the website or not.

If your state schools don’t have a major, some other state’s schools often offer in state.

New Mexico. And you don’t need high stats.

Or pay full rate at Utah the first year and then qualify as in-state.

This scenario is where a good UNweighted gpa matters.

Not everyone is as wealthy as you.

True. However, Alabama used weighted GPA (or the reported GPA) according to their admissions person who was at the recent college fair at GMU.

Can you double major in something useful?

OP. Also look at Florida schools. They may not give you in-state tuition but some decent ones (e.g. USF) will give you a discount off their OOS tuition to make it cheaper that VA instate.

LSU, my cousin’s kid just got offered one.
