Yea you got some nice instate schools and I would really shoot for those in addition to applying broadly in what makes sense to you. I know OSU and Louisville allow you to apply for residency after the first year and there are many others so yea it would take a little bit of research. Most of the private schools set a baseline tuition regardless of residency and tend to be quite pricy. Then I haven't taken Kaplan but I heard good things about it but I would recommend chad's videos for the two chemistries combined with whatever else your considering. Also being a D1 athlete is a great thing to put on a resume with ur volunteering experiences (they like to see well rounded applicants.)
https://forums.studentdoctor.net/threads/schools-and-changing-residency-the-list.1113135/ This link says no to Louisville offering in-state after a year. Has that changed? I'm not trying to debunk you or anything, if that is true I want to add Louisville to my list.
EDIT: I just looked up OSU's regulations on residency. It seems quite easy on the website, but you obviously need to plan ahead, so I guess you also need to look into all of the small hoops involved when researching this stuff.
From their website: "
Residency
You must physically reside in Ohio by August, in order to be considered for in-state residency for the coinciding academic year. If you decide to move to Ohio prior to August, your "residency clock" will start at that time. In order ofr you to be considered a resident of Ohio you must meet the residency requirements one-year prior to the term you are desiring residency for.
Example: If you desire residency starting with the first semester of your D2 (second year) year, you would want to be residing in Ohio no later than May of the year prior.
If you did not graduate from an Ohio high school, you must be able to show proof of your living arrangements with a valid date. If you are married and planning on your spouse working throughout the year, you will still receive residency if your spouse begins work before the start of the first semester in August.
Forever Buckeye: Students who have graduated from an Ohio high school, but attended college outside of Ohio and/or moved out of state since graduation, are considered a “Forever Buckeye” and a resident of Ohio for the purpose of tuition. "
