Out-of-State Admits?

[SLPjmar]

Does anyone know if state schools are less likely to accept if you are out-of-state? I know some programs tend to favor in-state applicants, but was unsure if this was a trend amongst other state schools.

It depends on the school. Some state-funded schools have a mandate to educate students of their state. Others are working to attract more out of state students because they add diversity and bring in more tuition money. This can even vary among colleges and schools within a single university.

 

I should disclaim that this is not about SLP specifically. I've worked in higher ed admin at several universities.
