My parents recently moved from New York to a different state while I was in college and said state requires one to have lived there for many years to be considered in-state at medical schools. I am, however, taking a gap year before starting medical school. If I declare myself financially independent and live in NY for this year, could I again be considered in-state? Does anyone know if I would have to go to extreme lengths to prove my residency status? I have otherwise lived there for over a decade and would not want to give up the chance to apply as an in-state resident to these schools if I don't have to...
