@lithiyum, yes it is harder but not impossible. You can transfer in a year with the right number of AP, although the subject credit parts may not fulfill everything you hoped. I believe OOS transfer acceptance is about 10% but I could be wrong, I’m guessing from memory. Yeah, it costs more, everyone always throws that out, but it’s comparable to a lot of private schools, and for many, the extra cost isn’t a deterrent.
I say give it a shot, but you def need a higher GPA than in-state.
