I have been limiting my options to in-state because of financial reason and I am worried they will not take my full 60 college credit hours. If there are any schools which will take out of state credit please share

I would say the most likely schools to take your college credit would be in-state publics. My D’19 came in with 25 DE credits and her small public took 22 of them. They matched up well with the college’s gen eds. She was able to graduate early which helped financially. This was an OOS public but not far over the border and they were fine with her DE’s.

It’s possible some of your 60 hours won’t match any particular course needed for your major or gen eds. So I wouldn’t count on every single one getting used, but when you identify some options, you could email them about their DE policies.
