If one is a boarding student at a college prep school, I understand that their application is reviewed by the regional admission officer who handles the state that that school is in, rather than the regional admission officer for the state that applicant is from. This makes sense as the regional admission officer for the state the school is in is familiar with the curriculum of that school.
Does anyone know for purposes of admission if the applicant is still considered a resident of the state they are from, instead of the state they go to school?
Does it matter?
ie. lets say one if a boarding student at a top northeastern college prep school, but is from the south?
