has anyone here been able to obtain residency at either FL or KY after a year of paying OOS tuition? specifically, at USF or UofL?

Im pretty sure for florida there is no way to become a resident after paying tuition. They have some pretty strict rules on residency.

Has anyone been able to change residency status from OOS to in-state in Michigan for med school? if so, please share details. there is a long list of contributing factors that "in and of themselves" are not sufficient, but perhaps complying with each one would make it possible eg state driver's license, voter's reigistration, ownership of property, et etc...?????

I can't speak for Michigan, but every state I've moved to specifically prohibits time during school to count towards state residency for this very reason ($$$). Voter's registration/etc helped towards establishing/proving it (i.e. if you went some where else for vacation/a few months), but the main criteria was actually living in the state for one year usually. (U Mass is a pain and requires 5 years 😕).

Not Ohio. My school even had a seminar during orientation for OOS students on how to get IS tuition after 1 year.

UofL makes you sign something saying you will not try to get in-state status during medical school. Once OOS, always OOS.

For the record, UK is the same way too.

Wow nice. 👍 Guess they actually want the students to stay there. For some reason schools think that charging you massive amounts of $$ will make you want to repay them by becoming a primary care physician in a rural area of that state.... Riight...

That's interesting, I wonder if the actual net gain by the school is more for IS than OOS...

Any other schools that you can declare IS after 1 year?

Seeing that the 2014 cycle just opened up I would be interested to know which schools you have the option to save some money at.

florida recenty passed a law that prevented students from becoming in state residents after doing one year of medical school

Check out Texas. OOS tuition is cheaper than many schools in-state tuition.

Net gain of what? Total money per student? they still make more per OOS over their 4 year education... not sure if that is what you're asking.

but doesn't texas limit the number of OOS seats to almost none? Could be wrong on that, it has been awhile since I have seen any stats on it

No more than 10% can be OOS, but with class sizes in the 220s+ it's still a significant number of spots.

Is this for a particular school or a general rule of thumb?

Does this apply to all MD schools? What about DO?

State law.

not sure -- but arent DO schools private for the most part anyway, with instate and oos tuitions usually being the same?

Couple things:

1) Ohio is one of the few that will allow single students who move to the state to reclassify as instate after 1 year. (At least a while ago when I interviewed there.)

2) For we married students, we have a built in "residency generator." After your spouse has worked in the state paying taxes for 1 year, they are an official resident and many states will let you piggy back on their residency. Once that year has passed, you have to petition for the change and provide a marriage certificate and other proof of your residency (state license, mortgage, etc.) This wont always work, but definitely try it if you are in that situation!

North Carolina! Woop woop!

UNC also lets you register for half time tuition during 4th year if you take enough electives during years 1 and 2. So THAT'S awesome.
