Hi all,

Does anyone know if UHCO is a state school? I'm from CA and was wondering if it'd be competitive to compete for a spot at UHCO from out of staters.

Correct me if I'm wrong but after a year, out of state students can get in-state tuition?

Thanks all!

It is a state school, it's a college of they're huge university of houston. not sure about your other questions. You should send them an email about that they're pretty prompt with responding.

I think on the website it says that you can get residency if you have a job for a year prior to entering into a post-graduate program.

They do not discriminate against out of staters. UHCO is a great program with wonderful facilities. It is possible to recieve residency after 1 yr.

this is not true. You can only get in state tuition in Texas if you've WORKED in Texas for a year before applying. You cannot go to UHCO for a year and then get in state tuition.

You also cannot get in state if you were attending classes before you apply in Texas. It has to be a full year of work.

It IS a state school.

If you go to UHCO from California you will have to pay out of state tuition all four years.

Wow, thank you for the heads up. All along I thought after one year in a state school I can pay in state fees. Is this how it works for all state schools?

Nope, it's all different! I know that in some state schools you can get residency after a year of going to school there-at berkeley and suny you can; I can't remember how I know that I think I read it on their websites. There are states that you can't get residency period if you're there for school (I think IU is like that).

Then there are some other schools that you can pay in-state tuition if your state doesn't have an OD school depending on the sate you're in and the state you're going to. That might be because the state you're a resident of subsidizes your tuition and not because the state or school you went to actually gave you a cut, not sure.

Thanks for the correction CPW.

At least for medical schools in Texas, you qualify for in-state tuition if you buy property in Texas. I don't see why it would be different for other professional schools.

I also heard that if you (or your wife) has a child while living there that you can qualify for in-state tuition. I just heard that from one optometrist so I don't know if it's true.
