I am currently holding an acceptance at an AMCAS school; I deferred for a year. I'm working in Texas, and I have family here, and I really love it. I realized this past week that if I work in Texas for a year and am living here for a year, I will be considered a Texas resident. Going to medical school in Texas as a resident will be much cheaper than going to a private medical school....so I'm considering turning down my deferred acceptance in the spring and then reapplying next year using TMDSAS.
Does anyone have any advice for me? I'd rather go to medical school than not, of course, but I was thinking that TMDSAS is a different application and so they won't see that I deferred at an AMCAS school and then turned it down. I'll also be a stronger applicant in TMDSAS because I'll be a resident. Do you think this is a risky move?
Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
