Hey everyone,
This is my first post here, and I'm excited to read more and contribute to these forums. It all looks very exciting.
I am looking to do a post bacc after spending several years in the engineering field and then moving out to Thailand to teach math to high school students for a couple years. Originally, I am from Oregon and went to school at a well respected private university there. My GPA was ok for engineering (3.31). A post bacc should be my first step if I really want to become a doctor, like I dreamed of back in high school. I can raise my GPA some, and complete the pre-reqs.
My first question is an important one financially. Since I moved to Thailand two years ago, have I lost state residency in Oregon? I've looked for an answer to this on the web, and surprisingly can't find anything. Am I not a resident of any state for tuition purposes, since I've been gone for two years? This could really hurt as I wanted Oregon schools to be an option for me.
Looking on the positive side, if I'm not a resident any longer, I can go anywhere I want to establish residency, and don't have to have that possible in-state tuition back in Oregon hanging over my head. I'd much rather live in Arizona or Texas upon returning anyways. Warm weather suits me
Thanks for your help!
