Hi everyone,
Do you think that it is an advantage to be in-state for admissions chances for public MBA programs (if it matters, a school in the 25-45 range of pretty much all rankings)?
The reason I ask, is I currently operate an LLC from home, so I can literally live anywhere as long as I have a laptop and an internet connection. My top school choice is in my home state (which I lived in till I was 22yo). I plan on moving back there sometime in the next 6 months or so, but I am very flexible as to the move date. But, even if I move back now, I won't be able to get in-state tuition for that top choice in my home state, so in-state tuition considerations are moot at this point.
So, I could move back now, and then apply, with an in-state address. Or, I could apply now with an out-of-state address and move back later.
Do any of you think it matters?
In-State: Seems to me that a public school would tend to favor its in-state residents for any borderline calls.
Out-of-State: It adds to their geographic diversity (they do note which states they have students from in their online Class Profiles).
Thoughts anyone?
Thanks,
Tom

I don't think it matters that much. I would probably apply with the out of state address and on your "Why school xxx" essay comment on how you used to live in that particular state and you know the particular strengths of the school and that you are looking forward to moving back etc...Something to that extent.

I don't think residency is a factor in admissions, but if it were, you'd be favored as an out-of-state student for diversity. Of all the elements in the admission equation, residency (within the US) should be the least important
