Does TX offer instate tuition to OK students?

[Amit1]

My pre-med advisor said that texas offers instate tuition to oklahoma residents. Is there any truth to this?

Keep in mind a lot of people say my pre-med advisor has her head up her ass.

And you call yourself an Oklahoman. 🙄 Why the hell would anyone want to go to that ugly state called Texas. Yuck you make me want to throw up. At least have respect for the motherland, dont concede to those stupid cattle herders to the South.

You have some serious issues pbehzad. Consider therapy. 🙄

Also Oklahoma's history and even current geography relates to its own cattle herding past and present: http://www.state.ok.us/osfdocs/stinfo2.html

But of course you are an ignorant ***** who is trying to judge others for their med school choices, so I guess you dont know much about your own state's history either.

A good therapy for you might be sticking your head in a toliet and pressing the flusher repeatedly. 🙄

Back to the OP...

At the financial aid presentations I went to while interviewing many of the schools indicated that would work with out of state students to get them in-state tuition, at least by the second year. I know Baylor offers a scholarship to all out of staters and I believe Southwestern does too. At A&M they said they would definately try to get out of staters in-state tuition and were usually successful. I don't remember what the other schools said but I think it was along the same lines as what A&M said. At worst you'd have to pay out of state tuition for a year and then qualify for instate the next so go ahead, swallow your pride, and apply. 🙂

I dont think UTSW offers it, unless there is some special regional agreement with OK. But apparently there isnt according to Canadian?

I'm not sure about this but residents of certain counties in NM and OK bordering Texas Tech's service area may qualify for in state tuition. Check with Tech's admission office. I know that applicants from these counties are given preference over other out of state applicants.

Baylor is like all other UT's in terms of in-state v.s. out-of-state tuitions. When I interviewed a couple years ago at Baylor, they did say that once you buy a condo as a first year, you can start paying in-state tuition when you are a second year med student (i.e. it is REALLY easy to get resident status in Texas). The saving you get in terms of tuition should get you a condo (if not, just consider buying that condo your first taste of investment in real estate). Other UT's might have that arrangement as well.

However, if you don't have green card or not US citizen, that plan won't fly. Just prepare to pay out-of-state for all 4 years.

Y'all are wrong. You cannot come to Texas for educational purposes solely. Which would be the case if you came here for med school, and didn't wait and work in the state for a year.

I know this as fact. I've had to fight my butt off to prove residency so I could get in state and it's still a question mark.

Are you at Baylor for med school? That's the info I got at interview at Baylor a couple years earlier.

I could have been wrong because I personally did not care to listen that carefully; nothing related to financial aid/tuition applied to me since I am an international student.

Ultimately, it is not that hard to find out. E-mail school's financial aid office. This has to be a very simple question to answer. But I did remember the financial aid office at Baylor talking about buying a condo at the "condo land" to obtain in-state tuition status. I think that by buying a condo, you pay property tax and hence the ability to obtain Texas residency status.

Baylor itself might give out some scholarships to out of staters to bring tuition down to instate levels, but that is its policy as a private institution and independent of residency requirements. The UTs and other publics do not do this.

I was told when I was at UTSW, that the school offers an out-of stater MD applicant (such as myself) scholarships that bring the cost down to in-state tuition.
I know of out-of-staters (including an OK resident) who get such a package.
