I am from the state of Georgia and would love to go into MCG of course because of the price and location. However; this isn't a perfect world so I have applied to about 14 other schools that match up quite well with me on entry stats and they accept a fair amount of out of staters. I have a question that I can't seem to find anywhere else on on the board. I was wondering which schools provide students with in state tuition for students if they go about changing there residency to that state during dental school. I have heard in Maryland this is fairly easy but have heard no such thing about other schools. I know this is completely unnecessary for private schools as they do not differentiate tuition from in and out of state. If there are any students that have been through the process or are currently in school that could shed some light on what the situation at there school is it would be incredibly helpful. The list of public schools I am interested in getting information on are Michigan, Florida, Indiana, Kentucky, Louisville, UNC, VCU, and Maryland. Any more information on other schools would be welcome even though I do not need it because I'm sure it would be beneficial to someone.

VCU- NO IN-State
OSU- After 1 year for everyone
Maryland- After 1 year
UConn- Yes After 1 year
Indiana- No In-State
NJ- Possible Immediate In-state
Florida- Not likely need confirmation
UC (Colorado): no change of residency
UB (Buffalo): yes after 1 yr, or can buy property for in-state first year
Indiana: no change of residency
UIC: no change of residency (unless you marry an IL resident)
Iowa: no change of residency
Louisville: no change of residency
Kentucky: no change of residency
UNC: yes after 1 yr
Maryland: hard to after 1 yr
Michigan: no change of residency
Oklahoma: no change of residency
Pitt: Quite hard after 1 yr
UNLV: yes after 1 yr
UMDNJ: can change immediately
Temple: possibly after 1 yr, also heard next to impossible
UCLA: yes after 1 yr
UCSF: yes after 1 yr
Texas: no change of residency
UW: possible, but it may be difficult and take a couple years
Stony Brook: Yes after 1 yr

I know Indiana does not allow you to change to in-state, and I am pretty sure that Louisville does not either. You should call the admissions offices and ask. They are usually very friendly.
 
I believe Ohio State is one that lets you change to in-state after first year.

yes i will second that. in fact on the Ohio website it doesnt even list tuition fee for OOS after first year since everyone get instate tuition after 1st.


I heard NJ lets you get instate immediately (even for first year), can anyone confirm?
 
VCU does not allow you to change residency during school.
 
I know for sure that UConn lets you get instate after one year. I don't think you can get instate for UF after one year, but they hardly let in any out of staters anyway.
 
Hi guys. Do you know if Ohio State or UCONN does the same thing for Canadian students??

I assume they wouldn't, but wanted to ask anyway
 
So far...

VCU- NO IN-State
OSU- After 1 year for everyone
Maryland- After 1 year
UConn- After 1 year
Louisville- No In-State
Indiana- No In-State
NJ- Possible Immediate In-state need confirmation
Florida- Not likely need confirmation

Still could use info on Michigan, Kentucky (which may go along with Louisville), and UNC. Also any other public schools would still be great for others.
 
Ohio State allows in-state after 1st year guaranteed as previously mentioned, even for Canadiens.😉 If one is married, and the spouse works full-time in the state of Ohio (self-sustaining job, no Mickey D's folks) in-state tuition is possible for that 1st year as well, which translates to 4 years of savings.

UNLV also allows for in-state tuition after the 1st year.

Yep, UNLV does. The problem is that their in-state tuition is the same as out-of-state tuition at most other schools. Great school though.
 
There's another thread about this where someone compiled a list of the schools. If you are interested in a school just call them and ask.
 
You should look at Hawaii, Alaska, Nebraska, and Arkansas. They all charge the same for instate and out of state students.

Seriously, you haven't even check out the websites of the schools where you are applying? At least one more of the schools on your list doesn't let you get instate tuition. I'll let you do the research and get back to us.

weird sarcasm? only one of those states even has dental schools.

this information is sometimes difficult to find. It took me almost 2 hours back and forth to different departments for someone to explain this to me at Baylor. I don't think this was such a bad post by the OP.
 
Buffalo will allow you to change to in-state tuition after 1-year of living there

Yeah I applied to MCG. I didn't go with UAB bc there stats were pretty high, I know some of the others were too but for some reason I just didn't feel like I would even get a shot there. Don't know why. And TN doesn't do any out of staters except for AR.

Where did you read that TN doesn't accept OOS except from AR?

Yes I was being sarcastic! I didn't realize there was a state school in Nebraska or I would not have included it in my list. I was trying to make the point that the op obviously had not done any research on any of these schools. It is very easy to find this info on the websites for Kentucky and Louisville. It would have been different if he/she had offered a partial list and said they were having trouble finding info on the other schools. I don't mind helping someone, if there willing to help themselves!
 
it is possible for students living in western states without public dental schools to pay in state tuition for UW through WICHE program such as Arizona

There is also the RDEP program for Idaho and Utah students attending Creighton, I didn't apply to the program so I can't give you the details. Basically you get in-state tuition for the first year since it's spent at the University of Utah, and then upon graduation if the student returns to practice in Idaho/Utah they receive like 20k-40k for a few years....I think? 😕

Yep, as far as I know, it's only for Utah/Idaho residents, although Creighton does do some WICHE. For RDEP, we do the first year at the University of Utah and pay in-state tuition (same tuition as the medical students. Idaho residents go to Idaho State for the first year and pay in-state there). After the first year we move to Creighton, where we finish the final three years. Then, if you come back to Utah/Idaho, RDEP/IDEP will reimburse you $20k for three years, for a total of $60k. They are trying to make it comparable to in-state tuition for the four years since Utah/Idaho don't have a state dental school.
 
At UNMC all non-residents receive a scholarship that lowers the paid tuition to the in-state level.
 
Stony Brook isn't on your list, but it is the same as Buffalo; you can change residency after 1 year.
 
I thought I remembered hearing that umdnj requires a year for in-state?
I know Rutgers definitely needs a year.. can anyone confirm otherwise?

i have a quick question does ny state dental schools accept decent numbers of out of state?

NY has two state schools, SUNY Buffalo and SUNY Stony Brook. Buffalo accepts a fair amount of out-of-state, along with allowing them to become state residents quite easily. Unfortunately, Stony Brook is one of the most competitive schools in the nation. I am a NY resident and have decent stats (3.5 GPA both overall and science) and I haven't even considered it being an option. Don't get me wrong, I will apply, but I am not getting my hopes up at all about it.
 
I'm an OOS first year at UMDNJ and as far as I know you CAN get instate after one year but CANNOT change immediately. All OOS students must maintain residence for at least one year in NJ before changing.

Temple needs to maximize their revenues. They are going through a current remodel of their facilities.
 
Can anyone confirm that U Conn still provides instate tuition to individuals who have attended the medical/dental school full time for a year? I've seen a few contraindications to this and was just wondering if any OOS had identified loopholes in the process w/o actually working while attending medical school.

"Any financial aid including grants and scholarships that require your being a tax dependent of somebody OR require you to be an out-of-state resident will in general disqualify you from establishing residency. This means that by accepting such awards, you will be getting no closer to in-state tuition." ~U Conn Policy

I interviewed for the dental school. They said it was "a gift from the state of Connecticut" to grant you in-state tuition after a year. Medical school may be different.
