hey guys, couldn't find a thread on this. I know at some (public) schools it's relatively straightforward to become a resident of that state after your first year of med school and subsequently pay in-state tuition. Ohio is one example... however I am an Ohio resident rn and am interested in options at public schools in other states. Anyone have any info? thanks.
 
Michigan is definitely NOT a state that allows instate tuition if you are here for education only, unlike our neighbor to the south.
 
In Texas almost all out of state people pay in-state tuition. It's obviously hard to get in as an OOS student but if you can get it they almost always give you a $1000 which entitles you to instate tuition in TX.
 
thanks for the input guys. good stuff to know. let's keep it coming
 
I am applying to your state because it is easy to get in state status.
 
anyone know about Colorado? Oregon? I'd like to go out west

I believe Arizona allows this. Some of the medical students mentioned doing it at my interview.
 
Of all the ones mentioned above, I can confirm Maryland and Ohio. I've also heard that New Jersey allows this but I am not positive.
 
damn. Still wondering about California and Oregon and like, Washington (although it's not like I'm going to get into UW lol).
I am 90% sure California is a yes after the 1st year. My host at UCSD said that almost everyone gets it for their second year... you just change your driver's license and a few other things.
 
Not Michigan, sorry. I think it takes quite a while to be considered a resident and then actually pay in-state tuition. Lol.
 
NY does this as well!
Yep, from my interview/tour memory, the only catch for SUNYs is that you have to live off campus the first year to establish residency. Pretty good deal.
 
No for Vermont
 
What are the rules for Ohio? If I've lived here for four years attending UG, can I apply for residency? Or do you specifically have to complete a year of medical school here to be eligible?

Never in Michigan, unless you "work" there and cease to become a student for a time. My dad was out of state for like 12 years!!
