In-State vs. Out-of-State Enrollment

Applying to College

Hello! My name is Teghan Simonton. I am a data reporter for USA TODAY, and I have received permission from College Confidential to post here. I am interested in interviewing students (or their parents) who feel they were shut out or unfairly denied from their state flagship university, due to an increase in selectivity or an increase in out-of-state enrollment. If you’re interested, please contact me at tsimonton@usatoday.com

Thank you!
