Likelihood of waiving out of state tuition?

[nikcav]

The MA program I will be entering is a very intensive 12 month program. Because of this, it does not have any TA/GA/etc. positions. It is also very new (I believe I'll only be in the second class) so I don't think it has funds for other scholarships either. I'm wondering if it would be a likely possibility for me to be able to have them waive my out of state tuition and just pay in state. How common is that? Does it vary between school or do most masters programs waive out of state? Any other insights?

Depends on funding of the program and uni. Some public programs are known for being FinAid friendly to out of state admits and offer you the in state tuition rate. I would certainly ask as a young program in its second year is not established enough to pull in many out of state applicants.
