Members do not see this ad.

I am curious in which states students can become instate in after they start state med school as an out of stater. i believe one can do this in cali and perhaps in the tx system if you buy a piece of property. any others out there?

UMD (Univ of Maryland).And it is very cheap even for out-of-staters: around 22K (If i remember correctly), after the first year they will switch you to in-state bringing the tuition down to approximately 12K. Which schools in CA do that? I know that UCI does not, USC is private (so it does not matter). Do UCSF or UCLA do that?

i heard at baylor, like you said, that you can buy property and become a resident after 1 year.

12K? Either I'm a complete jacka$$ and read the tuition form wrong, or your numbers are off. It's ~22K for instaters for the whole year.

the rates are per semester, not for the whole year

bubchick - where are you getting your info from? The residency rules say you have to have lived in MD for more than one year, and for other than educational purposes.

The FinAid guy who talked to us on the interview day seemed like he hadn't even read the actual policy, but the language of the policy seems pretty strict to me.

it's by state, not by school, as residency is to a state. CA you can become a resident after 1 year. You have to remember that you're not considered in state for purposes of admission, however.

Sorry, I miscalculated. I thought it was FAll and Spring semesters together, not per semester. But at least they allow to switch to in-state satus after one year. I called them up when they gave me an interview and they confirmed that after one-year I would be eligible for in-state tuition. So I think that it is great, b/c not many schools do that (not in CA at least). And you do not have to buy property.
Anybody knows about UCLA?

I believe that in Colorado after the first year you can pay in-state tuition. But that first year at $70K is a beeeee-yatch.

At NJMS, if you register to vote, get a driver's licence, and claim an address in New Jersey a month before school starts, you are considered instate and pay instate tuition.

I thought the same thing the first time I looked at the tuition form 😛

I've heard that you can do this in Florida if you own property (not just rent). Have to do a bunch of smaller things like file taxes there, voter registration, car registration, etc.

As someone said earlier, residency is determined by state not by school.
In TX, I think as soon as you buy property you become a resident.

University of Connecticut will allow you to pay in-state to tuition if you become a resident after your 1st year

 

[biendesalud]

You can apply at Utah after one year.

Not UMASS. You have to be a resident of MA for 5 YEARS!!!!
This makes me incredibly sad and mad.
🙁 😡

I'm considering moving.
Definitely interested in hearing of any state schools that require only a year or less of residency.

 

[doogyhowser]

ohio is pretty easy.

if your spouse has a job in the state at any time prior to matriculation, you're instate.
also, live there a year and you get instate status

Same with NY.

After the first year- Ohio State Univ and UVA

Not in all states - sometimes it's by school.
