Hey, folks!

Does anyone know of schools that allow students to switch to in-state residency after the first year (without jumping through an inordinate amount of hoops)? I am compiling the ones I have heard of so far. If anyone can refute or confirm anything, let me know!

UNC
Buffalo
UConn
Ohio State
UMDNJ
West Virginia
Stony Brook
UNLV (but not international or HPSP students)
Maryland (after 2 years)


Are there more? This list could be helpful for a lot of people. There may be a thread out there that already exists, but I'm not sure if it's updated.

UNLV does it except for international students and students with HPSP scholarship.

It's not guaranteed, they only say that they will help gain residency.

UW does not. If you aren't in state in the first place it's extremely difficult for you to gain admission. Out of the 63 students admitted, only two are out of state this year (non-quiche state students). The admission committee also stated that you don't become a resident after a year automatically like other schools.

What's the usual criteria to be declared in-state?

 

[paymaant]

From my understanding, you can't simply declare in-state residency if you only plan on living in that state for your 4 years of dental school and then move back to your home state. Is this correct?

 

[Aal]

To be a resident, it will depend on the rules of each state. Schools has no say in awarding the residency the only thing they can do is provide documentation that proves your involvement with them. However, what is important about the schools mentioned above is that they are willing to change tuition to in-State. Because a majority of schools will lock your tuition on OOS

 

[JAWSSS]

UCLA (I'm pretty sure)

IOWA (I think that is what they mentioned at my interview)

Does anyone know how easy it is to switch to in-state while attending UMDNJ or UNC?

 

[Epictetus21]

It's possible to get in-state after one year at Maryland, but you have to find out the requirements and start establishing residency in the weeks before class actually starts. That's why a lot of people got it after second year, because they didn't start the process (drivers license, registering to vote, bank accounts, etc.) until after the school year started.

Old thread but informative, so bump away.

UCSF does after 1 year.
