<p>Hi! I’m an upcoming senior living in Florida who is about to begin college applications for the Fall of 2013. I have a question that has been bothering me for some months now. I lived in Texas for my first two years in high school but after my sophomore year I moved to Florida. Now as apps become available, I’ve made the decision to only apply to a couple of schools in Texas (Texas-San Antonio, Texas State). When I was in Texas, I was under the Texas Distinguished Graduation Program. In Florida, there is no such thing (that I know of). When I search to see what is required to apply for any Texas schools, it says that students must graduate under either of the Texas Graduation Plans. Problem is, I live in Florida! So, what do I do? I am confused beyond belief. Under both Texas plans, students are required to take Physics. I do not have space on my schedule for physics (Astronomy took its place). Besides physics, I have most classes required since I did live in Texas for two years. So, what do I do? Do I apply for a waiver or what? What do out-of-state students do when applying to Texas schools?</p>
<p>Sorry for the lengthy question! Thanks in advance!</p>
<p>You are not a Texas resident. You do not need to graduate under the Texas Graduation Plan - that’s for Texas residents only. You need to see what is required for out of state students to apply to Texas schools. </p>
<p>For example, for Texas State, it says:
</p>
<p>You would use the SAT or ACT benchmarks.</p>
<p>For any other out of state questions, call the school(s) in question and ask.</p>
