In state tuition after 1 year?

I haven't been able to find on SDN a listing of which schools allow you to become a resident for tuition purposes after one year. I've heard lots of states that don't allow you to declare residency all four years.

This to me is almost as big a factor as tuition at lots of schools. Is there a list of which schools allow you to be an ISS after one year?

SUNY Schools- yes
Virginia Schools- no

Anyone else care to add to the list?

Cali - technically yes, but it's difficult and not a sure thing
SUNY Schools- yes
Virginia Schools- no

SUNY Schools- yes

U. Washington - yes

U. Cincinnati - yes, but like the California post it's not the easiest thing in the world

Some that I know of:

Colorado, Ohio State, MUO, UCinn,
Iowa, if you take a year off (e.g. research or just bum around)

Some will allow you to defer and establish residency for that deferral year.

it's more or less impossible in illinois. in order to pull it off, you need to earn 50% of your annual budget in the state...so while going through your first year of med school, you would need to somehow earn 50% of the cost of tuition, rent, food, utilities, insurance, etc. Not particularly likely.

Colorado allowed for you to become in-state after the first year -- that is until this year. Now, you are out-of-state for all 4 years and pay ca. $100,000 more than resident students. Ouch!

 

[jbrice1639]

considering the general concept of in-state tuition is that years of taxes subsidize your discount, i don't really see why any state would allow you to become a resident if you haven't paid in any taxes and aren't "contributing" to the state in any way.

University of Connecticut offers in-state tuition after one year.

I wonder if you can defer your medical school acceptance, get a full-time job so that you can establish instate residency, and then go back to medical school after a year or two. That'd be money, but not sure if med schools would allow that. It sounds just too easy.

In the long run, you'd be better off paying out-of-state tuition and working as a full-time doctor for that extra year rather than getting a full-time job now that wouldn't pay nearly as much.

Jersey is pretty easy.....from what I've heard it pretty much entails showing you exist and live in the state...get a drivers license and voila. Florida isn't TOOOOO bad....My parents moved there and lived there for a year and I'm now a florida resident. Involved showing tax forms, and like 3 forms of identification to get a new drivers license...which the 3 forms was ridiculous. My old license, my passport and a birth certificate. I don't think Indiana is too tricky if you moved there for a bit before hand. Of course becoming a resident and becoming a resident for tuition purposes are different. I know people at Penn State that while are technically residents, due to some weird rules they still pay out of state tuition. I think it is usually up to each school......which looking back most people have answered that way.

Quit worrying about how much medical school will cost. You will be able to afford the student loan payments after residency! 🙄

I worked full time in Texas for 1 year before attending school. I am in state.

It was very strict about certain criteria. The information is available on TMDSAS. Texas schools are about 10K / year which is AWESOME.

Heh. Well I don't know about the person whom asked the question but I intend on covering the country with apps. Tuition doesn't matter if it is the only place I get accepted but if it is the difference in 40 or 50k then I'd defintley consider the cheaper school!

Tx schools give in state tuition rates to out of staters

Which TX school are you talking about? I've never heard of this. You must live in TX for 1 year for non-academic purposes to establish residency.
