Changing residency from VA to MD

[Ohmyok]

I'm thinking of going to UMD for the class of 2024 over my state school VCU. Does anyone have experience in changing residency from VA to MD to get that in-state scholarship after D1? I know the standard steps: license, car registration, voting registration, housing, community involvement, etc. But, I've heard its much harder to change residency from VA to MD since we're only a border away from each other.

Any input will help even if it's not about VA/MD.

I've heard it is much easier to get instate tuition to UMD compared to most dental schools. I know of a few people that have done this. I would suggest reaching out to current UMD students through their facebook group or even visit the school. I believe this is a fairly common question for UMD students so it shouldn't be too hard to find a definitive answer. Best of luck!

I also believe getting a job can help, even part-time
