In-state tuition if a Legacy

<p>In case some of you aren’t aware, if you are a legacy of a WM grad you can obtain in-state tuition even if you are an out-of-state student… this is not well published.</p>

<p>Where did you learn this? Do you have something official as your source? If there is any truth to this, I plan to be all over it as I have now paid two years of out-of-state tuition for my son and he is a double legacy. Hmm, would it be free for a double legacy?

<p>May not have been entirely clear in my last post: I’m skeptical. I have never seen or heard anything like this, at any institution. But, we’re talking many thousands of dollars so it is my fiduciary responsibility to go off on this wild goose chase.</p>

<p>So, Tribe1693, if you have anything to support this, please share.</p>

<p>I read it in a national magazine along with my father and mother. We saved it, because my sister was thinking about coming to WM. I will have to obtain the date and page number. You might want to follow up with the bursar’s office to make sure whether or not the magazine’s information is legit.</p>

<p>you confused the legacy aspect. they look at OOS legacies as instate for admissions purposes only (meaning that it is much easier to get in). you still need to pay for out of state tuition.</p>

<p>That sounds about right, hopeful5. I can’t see any reason why W&M would give instate tuition to people who aren’t paying taxes in VA.</p>

<p>. . . well, you know.</p>

<p>–K9Leader, hopes dashed but suspicions confirmed</p>

<p>K9Leader, sorry to hear the magazine presented a confusing message. I will like to get a hold of it when I get a chance though and see exactly what it said. I figured if there was any truth to what it seemed to insinuate I should pass it along for others’ benefit. take care.</p>
