Do you have a better chance of being accepted by a state university if you live in the state???

Question

In particular the university of michigan. (i know some states require so many state residents be accepted, but i dont know about U of M)

Answer 1

not neccessarily but there are only a limited amt scholarships to be avail. for out-of-state students......and if you are not a resident of the state then your tuition will be much higher

Answer 2

As you noted each state and/or school may have its own regulations as to how many students they need to accept from out of state versus in state. Tuition for out of state students is usually higher so many schools do like accepting out of state students as it generates additional revenue.

I was able to find a web site with some information about admissions at the University of Michigan and it states that thirty-seven percent of its student body are out-of-state students.

Speak to your college advisor (or a transfer coordinator at your current college if you are already enrolled at college) to see if you can get more information. You can also contact the admissions office and see if they will tell you if the requirements are any different for out of state students.

Good luck!

Answer 3

In some states, the bar might be set a bit higher for non-residents or there might be a quota. The rationale: the university is supported by tax-paying residents of that state. Your college's catalog would be a good place to start if their website doesn't answer your question.

Answer 4

Yes. State schools are supported by the tax payers and residents of the state. Therefore, the state schools are obligated to serve their citizens.

An example of a state school system's policy is given below.

Answer 5

Yes. 68% of those who enroll at the University of Michigan are from Michigan.

Answer 6

the short answer is yes. certainly.
