They must make their score prior to their freshman year starting. Once they start classes the out-of-state tuition rule becomes null and void. :)

I wish that were true for OU but it is not. In order to get an out of state tuition waiver, the student must make a 29-30 on the ACT. They have also raised thier minimum requirements for out of state students to a 26 ACT and a 3.5 GPA. (that's for automatic acceptance). At OSU, the 25 ACT score will get you an in state rate. I do not know about Arkansas or Louisiana.
Also, the out of state tuition for OU is about $25,000.00 per year, which is much higher than Bama, Ole Miss, KU. I believe that this is due to the high number of Texans applying to OU that can't get in to UT or A&M. OU has found out that Texans are willing to pay the out of state tuition so that thier kids can have the BIG college experience. It's a shame that Texas is losing so many capable students to these surrounding states, my daughter included. |
