M.D. Schools where you can file for residency after the first year

Members don't see this ad.

I had heard that there are some states/schools that will allow you to become a resident (and pay instate tuition) even if your purpose of moving to the state was to go to school. Is this only a rumor or is it true?

Can we start a list of M.D. schools where this is possible???

The University of Cincinnati is definitely one of those (thank goodness).

 

[bpit]

University of Kentucky and University of Louisville and from what I was told by the people in admissions you can gain residency immediately if you buy a house.

 

[exmike]

i believe Ohio State and MCO both let you after year one

Donate 200 mil to UCLA and you can have a medical school named after you. Donate 100 mil and you can get a hospital.

Baylor. Also, UT Southwestern (and maybe the other UTs) only make you pay instate tuition, regardless of where you're from.

Times were, it was cheaper for the out-of-staters as they gave them a $1000 bonus or something like that.

Not at the other UT schools.

University of Colorado does it.

i heard from one student at USCF that if you are careful you can do the same there

 

[wolferman]

NJMS (New Jersey Medical School) said they'd help me set up an address over the summer and file paperwork so I could become a resident for the FIRST YEAR!! I ended up not going there, or anywhere, but it was still nice of them.

 

[CrazyCozak]

Univ. of Arizona/after 1 year

 

[kmnfive]

haha pay in state at a Cali school??? lmao. no way. unless you get there 1 year earlier, get a drivers lisc, a mailing address, and copies of bills IN YOUR name, proof that you have been living there for 1 year BEFORE you goto school there.

by all means which any of these arent really hard. so i suppose you COULD if you were so to speak "careful" .. but you need to be pretty sneaky about it.

cali favors cali students who have paid -- or parents of students -- taxes to the state.

 

[Northerner]

University of Colorado.

Which is nice, because tuition is....drum roll...~$54,000 for out-of-state....egad!

 

[saphenous]

UConn too, I think.😀

 

[dstn2bmd]

The University of NC - Chapel Hill. 🙂

hey thanks 4 sendin me the howard secondary last app cycle, even though i didnt get in, and I'm applying again 😛
Didnt you start as a 1st yr this fall, or did u defer till next yr?

 

[DoctorWannaBe]

My uncle went to med school at UCSF and got California residency after one year. He was married and may have had a kid by then, so maybe that helped him get residency.

 

[rCubed]

does anyone know about applying for residency in Penn?

 

[mlw03]

when i was at upitt i asked about getting PA residency for the last 3 years to save a bit on tuition, and i was told that it's pretty much impossible to do so as a student. i can also confirm that gaining TX residency is supposed to be extremely doable, so you pay in-state tuition your last 3 years.

Becoming a California resident at UCSF is relatively easy. As a matter of fact, the school tells you how to do it in our "how to survive first year" handbook, so it's no big secret. Now, if you're an out-of-stater at U. Michigan, you are stuck with out-of-state tuition for all four years.

Yeah, but it's not gonna save you much money anyway. PA schools don't give a very big tuition break to their residents. I think the cheapest in-state tuition in PA is somewhere around $23,000. I wish we Pennsylvanians got a better deal.🙁

You can apply for AL residency after the first year here at UAB.

 

[roxtu]

University of Washington.

But not OHSU. I was told that once you're listed as a non-resident, that's your classification for all four years.

Even if you buy a house? Does anyone know where I can get info on this?

 

[snowbear]

Is anyone sure that U of Colorado students can declare residency? And when can they? Any current med students know? I would definately consider going there, but that 67k tuition makes my stomach drop.

 

[discusdan]

I thought Arizona only accepts in state students. That is what their web site says anyways.

 

[snowbear]

I got my question answered by the adcom, and I wanted to post it here just in case anyone else is curious too. Out of state residents can declare residency in Colorado for the second year of medical school. YEAH!

Ditto...the adcom told me the same thing when I interviewed there. Out-of-state tuition for the first year, but in-state classification is possible after that.

 

[snowbear]

Snapdad,

What did you think of the school when you interviewed there? Would you go?

This is true for SUNY Upstate, and therefore, probably true for the other public NY medical schools.

U-Iowa after 1 year but I heard you can get residency status faster (maybe after 1 semester). I'm not sure though.

 

[frog4brooke]

Not so at Eastern Virginia Medical School

As I recall many of the public NC schools were open to allowing students to become state residents.

Many Med School interview days had about 20 min or so with the Fin Aid office. A good ? to ask while you are there. (remeber to write down the answer! Interviews all blend together after a while).

That is AWESOME! I grew up in CO and loved it but had pretty much written it off because of the cost of tuition.

I don't think so. You must be a Kentucky resident for at least a year. Don't quote me on that but I know there is a time requirement.

 

[ixitixl]

Does anyone know about U-Illinois? I don't want to get stuck paying 50K/year for 4 years. That's a little more debt than can handle but it's the only place that's taken me so far.

kmn5, if you don't know the answer to something for sure, at least couch it with some qualifiers. Nothing in the above quotation is correct.

 

[thesaug]

Is it very difficult to get the in state status at UCinn? Can you establish it even before you begin school?

 

[JohnHolmes]

I think Colorado allows this. I couldnt imagine wanting to go in debt over 300k to attend this school as an out of stater ... ugh

No - it's ridiculously easy.

And no - you can only do it starting your second year, but that means about $40,000 in savings over years 2-4.

Thanks Spacekat!
