I imagine a good number of people are in my situation. I'm from state X, where my parents live. I will be applying as a resident for the local medical school.
However, I have been away in another state for the last 4 years for undergrad and will be working there for a year. Is it unethical/illegal/etc to apply as a resident of both states?
I'm not trying to cheat the system, but while I love my home state and would love to return there I also have love for the state Im in now. And being here for 5 years should make me a resident as well, right? Especially since I paid/will pay taxes.
