I am confused about the differences of applying to an "in-state" school vs. an "out-of-state" school vs. a "private" school. Do in-state schools tend to give state residents favor? If so, how much favor? What about private schools? Are they netural?

Just some questions that are in my mind at the moment...
pce,

In-state public schools give residents favor. About 90% of a public school's class is filled with state residents. In some cases, 100% of the class is filled with state residents.

Private institutions arent state funded, so they dont give preference to in-state residents.

does anyone know which schools are private? and what happens if you live in a state that there are no public schools? can you say "bad luck?"

Above is almost full list of schools and I think private schools are:



UOP, USC, LomaLinda, Harvard, Boston U, Tufts, NYU, Marquette, UPenn, Temple, Case, Columbia, Creighton...may be I am missing
or may be few are not private schools from above list.
All the best friend!

Arizona is also private. Nova is also private.

Then you fork out the extra cash to attend a private school. Unless you have spectacular stats, in which case you might get into a public school and be allowed to gain residency and pay lower tuition for your final three years.

 

[busupshot83]

so private institutions are generally more "easier" to get into?

Adding to the private list:

Pitts, Howard, Meharry, and Detroit Mercy.

So the comprehensive list as of now:

UOP, USC, LomaLinda, Harvard, Boston U, Tufts, NYU, Marquette, UPenn, Temple, Case, Columbia, Creighton, Nova, Arizona, Pitts, Howard, Meharry and Detroit Mercy.


As far as "easy" schools to get into, private schools are not necessarily "easy"...

Statistically, the easiest schools to get into would be the public schools in your state of residence (if there are any). You are only competing in large part against your fellow state residents. Private schools on the other hand pits you against applicants from all 50 states.

Of course, some private schools do have a rep for being "easy" such as NYU because they accept such a large class, and some others are easier (or harder) to get into depending on the applicant's background (such as race in the case of Meharry and Howard, and religion in the case of Loma Linda-- Being a 7-day Adventist gives you an advantage there so I heard).


HTH!

Can anyone give a list of public schools that allow you to gain residency after one year and pay in state tuition for the remaining 3 years?

 

[init4damoney]

I'm pretty sure California and Nevada give you residency after a year.

 

[grettlin2]

For the financial issue of view, out-of-state tuition might be higher than private schools for some state schools. State school = low tuition is only for the applicants who apply their own state schools. Some private schools do provide excellent education with relatively reasonable tuition, like Temple, Creighton, and Nova.

 

[drPheta]

UMDNJ gives you residency within the first month of matriculation. They are pretty non-resident friendly, as they're trying to bring in "talent" from all over the country to increase the reputation (adds to the political aspect of their attitude that we all know them for).

For the Univ of Calif, you need to have resided in Cali for 2 years and filed for the 1040 with a residential address in Cali those 2 years to become a resident. This I know because I was told specifically so by the UC ad-coms for both ugrad and prof schools.

yes, but is it safe to say that schools that allow one to gain residency after 1st year, that they will be cheaper then most if not all private schools?

Hey Bill. If your out there, can you tell me does Indiana offer instate tuition rates after a year?

 

[UBTom]

In regard to UMDNJ:

I would not pin all my hopes on getting into just that school if I don't live in New Jersey. 80% of their students are New Jersey residents because it's a state-funded institution.

That's what their website says: http://dentalschool.umdnj.edu/students/prospective/admissions.htm

 

[openwyd22]

UNLV and UNC allow you to obtain resident status after one year.

I'm not sure. I'll check with Dr. Kasberg tomorrow, but my gut instinct is to say that Indiana only grants residency if you're paying taxes during the time you're establishing (i.e., you move here and take a year off to work in Indiana, or if you have a spouse working while you're in school).

Let me emphasize once again that this initial response is about as airtight as a block of Swiss; more to follow tomorrow or the day after.

 

[init4damoney]

Meharry and Howard cater to African Americans, that's about it. Just like Loma Linda caters to seventh day adventists. Though being religious in general only helps your chances with Loma Linda. May not be fair, but when was life ever fair?

 

[RaiderNation]

Yep, if you don't have a strong religious background, Loma Linda will show you the door faster than you can say oral maxillofacial surgery. They favor 7th day adventists, but if you are religious, you have an advantage. Maybe it's not fair, but ya gotta find the program that fits you best. I might get into LL cuz I'm religious, but denied from Howard cuz I'm white. It all evens out in the long run.

 

[busupshot83]

damn, i guess being west indian, and semi-religious doesn't really help me out

 

[init4damoney]

I'll tell you what, being a minority of ANY kind only helps. Which group is it hardest for to get into the medical field? White male, simple as that. I wonder if I searched back in my ancestry and found some indian, would I be able to pull that off????

 

[busupshot83]

say your my brother... the white version
