Hi,
I came across this site researching about residency. I'm having a difficult time deciding which state to claim residency. Currently am applying to freshmen undergrad. It's likely i'm gonna go the pre-med route. I'm in kind of a pecuilar situation or so at least i think. My dad is in California but I live in Texas with my mom. I know its possible for me to spend a year in California then become California resident by switching my driver's license to Cali and voter registration to Cali at least I think. I'm fond of the UC schools so thats def an option. However, would this mean I'd give up my Texas residency? I don't wana do that cause it seems Texas Residency is muy bueno towards instate unlike Cali. Plus, Texas med schools are wayyy cheaper it seems. So I guess my question is is it possible to become a California resident during undergrad years and pay instate UC undergrad admissions but still keep or switch back to Texas residency and go to Texas med school afterwards? Are there any resources/website that explain this? Is there a number or email I can contact to ask about this?
THanks in advance.
