Everything I read says you need to be financially independent in order to establish residency. And that your income needs to account for your tuitional payments.
That implies that students period cannot become residents (of New York) if they are full-time students getting help from parents, etc. I am curious if this includes loans? Like if you take out a loan that you are solely responsible, does that count as being financially independent?
Also, if I finish my post-bac, then live in New York for a year and work full-time, THEN apply, I wonder if I will be considered instate? Furthermore, would i have to live in NY for a year before APPLYING as an in-state, (meaning I will live/work in NY for TWO years before matriculating)? Or could I apply as in-state if I WILL HAVE lived and worked in NY for a year before MATRICULATING.
Also, would NY med schools (suny) consider me a NY resident like everyone else? or would they see me as "kinda sorta a ny state resident". in other words, is it viewed as a "yes or no" question by admissions, or along a continuum
