<p>If your state has an auto-admit policy for residents, please describe it here. </p>
<p>As far as I know, Maryland has nothing. I think (given the economic climate) I’d like to suggest they establish something. Before I do, I’d like a broad understanding what some other states do. </p>
<p>I’m not talking about financial aid. I’m talking about “as long as your high school performance is ___<strong><em>, you are guaranteed admission to </em></strong> state school(s).”</p>
<p>Thanks.</p>
<p>For the UCs: If you meet the “Eligibility Index” (a combination of GPA and test scores <a href=“http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/scholarship_reqs.html[/url]”>http://www.universityofcalifornia.edu/admissions/undergrad_adm/paths_to_adm/freshman/scholarship_reqs.html</a> ), you are guaranteed admission to one UC campus (though not necessarily the campus of your choice).</p>
<p>i know UNC chapel hill is required by state law to have 84% of its applicants be in state.</p>
<p>I think UVA has an agreement with NOVA (local community college) that if you go for 2 years with a 3.5+(maybe higher idk) they must admit you as a transfer</p>
<p>UD says that if a Delaware resident meets all of their requirements (see below) then the student can be “confident” he or she will be admitted to the main campus in Newark. Something new for, I believe, next year, they will also meet the in-state tuition with a combination of grants, loans, and/or work-study. They will also attempt to meet room and board costs as their financial aid resources permit.</p>

<p>The Oregon system is essentially you have to maintain a 3.25+ GPA and have completed 16 courses (4 yrs of english, 3 of math, etc.) and ur in</p>
<p>Texas - Top 10% get into all state public unis automatically</p>
<p>GA - HOPE Scholarship provides tuition to any graduating senior with a 3.0 attending a state public uni (you have to get in, however). UGA in-state is 98% HOPE.</p>
<p>Florida has Bright Futures</p>
<p>I know that in MD, if you scored in the 99th percentile on the psat test, you’re guarranteed admittance. </p>
<p>But really, as long as you maintain at least a 3.5 or so, and score well on the SAT, you’re pretty much admitted to every school in MD anyway, at least as an in-state student.</p>
<p>Florida has guaranteed admission to a public univeristy (you don’t get to choose) for students in the top 20% of their class.</p>
<p>To help pay for this, there is also the Bright Futures scholarship program, which can potentially pay for 100% tuition and fees with a small stipend for lab fees and books.</p>
<p>PSU I’m pretty sure does not have an auto-admit policy, but if you meet specific criteria it’s not hard to tell if you’re going to be admitted or not. In state, 1700/1800+ SAT score, and 3.5 GPA will pretty much get you in.</p>
