At which medical schools is it reasonable to expect to get residency (and in-state tuition) after the first year? I'm from Georgia, would love to go to school in another area, but would also love to graduate w/ a manageable debt level. Thanks in advance!

Of hand I'd say University of Colorado and Robert Wood Johnson (NJ).

 

[Scottish Chap]

All the SUNY schools.

 

[CanIMakeIt]

none of the Virginia and Indiana schools

 

[xSTALLiONx]

I heard that USF gives students the option to claim Florida residency so that they can pay Florida tutition after thier first year.

I believe you can get in-state tuition after one year with the public Ohio med schools: http://studentcouncil.med.ohio-state.edu/Assets/PDF/survivalguide.pdf
See pages 9-10

And if I remember correctly, for all three of the UMDNJ schools (RWJ, NJMS, and the School of Osteopathic Medicine) you can get in-state tuition after one year. But when I last checked, the two MD schools (RWJ and NJMS) don't accept a large percentage of out-of-state applicants.

At least Texas A&M and UT Southwestern in Texas give $1000 scholarships to out-of-state acceptees that makes them in-state for tuition purposes, and the other public schools probably do too. Also, if you own property for one year (ie buy your home) in Texas you qualify for in-state tuition the second year of school. Many friends of mine at Baylor are taking this track.

How hard is it to get Ohio residency? does anyone know? When should I apply for a driver's license, etc.

 

[dean879]

Appreciate the feedback. Anyone know about Washington or North Carolina?

Also in Ohio, but private is the Medical University of Ohio (Used to be the Medical College of Ohio) they grant in-state after one year if you transfer your residency (ie driver's license, license plates, register to vote, etc) to Ohio.

I believe U Minn is one school in which you can gain residency after a year. Also, I think many out-of-staters qualify for a "scholarship" in their first year which basically equates to in-state tuition. I am not sure about this, hopefully a UMinn med student will see this and make sure.

Colorado gives you in-state tuition after a year, but your first year's tuition is like $65,000. It comes out being a little less than a private school.

Alabama state schools may have the best deal on tuition in medicine. You get in-state after a year, and it would have cost me less to go to UAB than my state school if I had been admitted.

California schools will give you in-state after a year, but I think UCLA and UCSF are the only two school that admit many people out-of-state, and as you can imagine, it's insanely competitive to get in.

As others have said, the TX schools give you in-state after a year, but they don't take many non-Texans.

Ohio school are still pretty expensive. In-state tuition at Ohio State is 22k per year. Plus your first year is like 36k (or in that ballpark). Better than private schools, this is true. They pretty much recruit out-of-state and just lowered the M1 out-of-state tuition (it used to be like 48k). Very easy to get OH residency once you're there.

I think UNC may give you in-state tuition after a year (I could be wrong), but it is almost impossible to get in there out-of-state without very strong ties to the state. ECU doesn't admit anyone out-of-state.

Good luck, dude. As you can see, I tried the in-state thing at a few places. Hasn't worked out quite yet. 🙂 Could at Ohio State or Cinci, but Memphis doesn't sound that bad at all, really.

Not a fan of Augusta? Or would prefer MCG@ATL or SAV? 😉

MUO/MCO is public, not private. The only private school in Ohio is Case.

Neuronerd, I would get your Ohio drivers license, plates and register to vote as soon as you can. Ohio doesn't grant reciprocity for other state's licenses, so you will have to take the test.

Penn State will NOT grant you in-state tuition EVER if you're an out-of-stater.. Hope this helps. 😉

All the SUNY schools.

New York requires residence for 5 years before getting in-state tuition!

As far as I know, UNC will do it. And I'm pretty sure MUSC will as well (don't know about USC south carolina)

University of Nebraska doesn't allow you to become a resident, but they have grants that pay the difference between out of state and in state tuition. All you have to do to get one of these is know that they exist, ask the office of admissions for one, and wait until one becomes available, which doesn't take too long. Everybody I know who asked for one got one.

No, at my Buffalo interview they said you could get in-state tuition after one year.

 

[Croatalus_atrox]

It's nearly impossible for an out-of-state student to get in-state tuition consideration at the University of Michigan.

Yeah, I saw on another post that you could get in-state at the SUNYs after a year. I was going to respond but I couldn't because of server problems. So I'm wondering where I heard this 5 year thing?! If it's true that you can get residency after a year, I wonder if I should add the SUNYs...hmm....

R U SERIOUS!? I was going to attempt a transfer after 1st or 2nd year to a VA school based on my significant other who will have been there for a year...sighhhhh...well, neurosurgery it is I suppose...otherwise the debt monster is going to eat me alive...

You may as well, I think SUNYs are generally pretty receptive to interviewing PA residents.

I think for the SUNYs you need to be a 5 year resident of NY to APPLY as a resident, meaning you're more likely to get in/get admissions preference, but i know you can get in-state tuition after a year.

ECU won't let you in unless you are in-state. As far as UNC is concerned I think they will give you in-state. You just have to have everything swithced over. Voter's registration, license, car reg. domicile for one year.

No, this is not right. You can apply as a NYS resident after living in-state for a year. I checked on this with Stonybrook admissions office. The key is you must declare NY as state of residency on your taxes. They may ask you for further proof such as bills to a NY address or a driver's license.

You do, however need to be a five year resident (or have gone to high school in MA) to apply to UMASS, and they only take MA residents.

UNC will grant in-state tuition. My roommate is an MD/PhD student here in her 3rd year and received in-state tuition status after her first year. She changed her license, registration and voter status from Kentucky to NC. Not hard to do, but can be tedious. 😎
