If you were to move to a new state for in-state options…

…where would you go?

Georgia is on my radar for both UGA and GT.

I live in MD now and I used to think we would move to VA when the time got closer but the admissions results I see around here don’t seem worth it.

Applying to top state flagships in TX, CA, NC, FL, MI as a high school student living in a desirable urban or suburban area in that respective state is no easier than, say, applying to UVA from Arlington or McLean. Or applying to UMD out of Bethesda.

Florida or Georgia. Go somewhere that has free instates. I'm from Florida and Bright Futures covered nearly all of my tuition.

Indiana for Indiana or Purdue.

I have friends who moved from NY to GA for the instate college options there.

Don’t come to Colorado. They expect top students to get excited about a $2000 merit award at CU and CSU. Paying less at an out of state private with merit aid.

If you make under $200K (I think) Colorado College will match CU Boulder prices.

Can't believe one has said Michigan! Isn't in state acceptance even higher than UNC?

Michigan has a lot more in state options than most think.

Illinois is another possible option.

We were actually investigating a couple of the lesser knowns in those 2 for a while.

UIUC of course, but UI-Chicago has improved a lot lately as well. Tuition at both is a little on the pricier side at $15k/year (not including room & board).

Not Mass. The flagship favors OOS, so little to no merit. The others aren’t quite up to par.

UT Austin is very hard to get for any desirable majors. There are other good universities in Texas though.. Texas A&M, UT Arlington, UT Dallas.

I think caliber of students at all Texas universities will continue to improve as tons of high income and educated folks moved during the last few years
