In-state resident status for nontrads?

I am working full time, thinking of applying to pharmd schools. However, I will need to relocate out of state.

My question is: is it possible to get in state resident status without having to work in that state for a year? I am looking to find ways to switch to in state tuition after the first year.

Specific situations I am wondering about:

1. can you get out of state and switch to in state after having lived there during year 1 if you are not claimed as a dependent on parents taxes?

2. if you have a working spouse, can their income qualify you for a switch to in state after a year? What if they are not working? (spouse is thinking about going back to school too. EEE! big loans!)

3. can buying a house turn you into an in state resident? If so, would you have to own it for a year before you start?

4. I live and work about 10 minutes from the border of another state. This other state is where I went to middle and high school, and got my undergrad and grad degrees, and want to go back to school. Would this count for anything?

5. WHat if we moved over the border but still worked in the other state? Does that count?

6. Do schools ever grant in state status on the basis of academic competitiveness of an applicant?

7. I have heard that Texas and Colorado are really picky. Once you are out of state, you will stay out of state unless you sign your name in blood on the Sam Houston statue for 10 years in a row or something. Is this true? Anyone know about Oklahoma? (OU)

Thanks!

I don't know how it works when applying to schools, but I've moved between states quite a bit and had to deal with tax information. The only thing I've learned is that the rules are made up state by state. I know in some states residency was established by a drivers license or voter registration (esentially just establishing an address). Others require some time spent in a residence.

I think you're just going to have to investigate with the state schools you're looking at.

Have you thought about doing your pharmd online? I am going back to pharmacy school after working for a while, and I am going to get my degree online, through Creighton University. That way, you wouldn't have to move to do your residencies or any of the coursework either!
