so I am a texas resident.

I will be applying next summer (2014) to many dental schools, but my top choices are the three schools in Texas.

However, I come home from school the other day and my parents tell me that they will be moving to Arizona. They said they should be all moved in by this Thanksgiving.

IS THERE ANYWAY I CAN STILL KEEP MY RESIDENCY?

I have been living here since 2005. I love Texas. It's my home.

PLEASE HELP ME

Thank you..

So were mine.

If you're over 18 and is able to self-sustain yourself physically, financially, and emotionally; then GET YOUR OWN PLACE. I can guarantee you'll learn a lot during that time.🙂

YOU'RE WELCOME.🙂

Could you stay there in an apartment? You'd have to pay rent for a year, but you would totally make that back (and then some!) if you can get Texas tuition.

Just say you are from Texas. You have plenty of evidence to suggest this, it's not lying.

For the TMDSAS application, there's a specific section that classifieds what kind of resident you are. There's also a section where you can write details regarding your residency in Texas; if you are elaborate enough, perhaps they may consider you a Texas resident (for example, if you're continuing education and/or hold a residence within Texas).

But yes, holding some sort of residence in Texas will definitely help your situation, and possibly allow you to apply to your desired Texas schools via TMDSAS and not AADSAS.

Thank you everyone. I'll figure something out

Get your own apartment, open a bank account (or keep yours) in Texas, keep your driver's license in Texas, and file taxes there. Bulletproof.

This isn't necessarily accurate since it assumes OP is independent. If he isn't, he may be screwed no matter what. His parents would be AZ residents after a few months, and so would he. OP, you need to read the residency info on TMDSAS and call them. They are very nice. You may simply fit the HS graduate definition of a resident and not need to do anything but stay in Texas for the next 12 months. If you do not, you have to buy a house, start a business, or become gainfully employed. Just call them.

The TX dental schools are highly vested and "dedicated to improving the health of the people of the State of Texas and the nation;"(UTH's Mission Handout at interview) in that precise order. The OP may not be short of luck depending on several factors i.e. length of time he/she has resided in-state, upbringing, and etc. This all-of-a-sudden change in state residency may merely be a minor blemish in the eyes of these great schools.

If the OP decides to get his/her own place, then real imminent problem for OP is claiming independent as he/she may lose privilege to piggy-backing on his/her parents' health insurance, and he/she may be subjected to the real world while pursuing his/her planned course of study. All TX dental schools require all students to have this type of insurance. If you're skeptical, why not ask this on behalf of the OP on your interview day? It'll demonstrate your compassion for others and make a good interview question.

OP, I personally recommend you contact each of these dental schools and explain your situation.

TMDSAS Residency requirements are really straightforward and are listed on the website, and most of the stuff addressed in this thread isn't relevant to those requirements.
