Hello!
I think my situation is a little different with regards to my state of residence and how it'll affect my application.
Currently, I have a Pennsylvania driver's license and my car is registered in PA. However, I was born in NY and graduated high school in NY. I was split between these two states for my whole life as my dad lives in one state and my mom in the other.
How do I declare residency for AMCAS? Since NY has several in-state med schools and Penn State accepts a lot of OOS, it seems to make more sense in being an NYS resident. Alternatively, do I really need to change my driver's license to NY? With my strong ties to NY, will the state schools look at me as an in-state resident in terms of admissions?
Thanks for the help!
