You can receive in-state tuition after your first year but if I recall correctly, Mark Lombard (the old admissions director) said only 1 in 10 get it. You can increase your chances by first obviously getting a PA license, register to vote, open a local bank account and also by joining local organizations??such as a church, etc.

One way to pretty-much guarantee residency is to buy a house. You can immediately get residency that way (don?t have to wait a year). That?s what I did and I know several others that did as well. My mortgage is cheaper than what it would cost to rent.

Take care.

Thanks EcoRI for the info.......actually buying a house doesnt seem that bad, cause you would be saving $40 000 alone on tuition, plus the rent......I think its good.....plus, you could probably rent the house to a Canadian student that has no choice but to rent......hmmmmmm....do I really wanna be a landlord though????? 😕 The Super like Joe Pesci!

Let's say I were to put a down payment on a house the summer before I entered dental school. Would I be able to receive in-state tuition in my first year, from let's say, a school in Nevada, like UNLV? How would I be able to find out, ie, who should I ask?

From what they told me at the interview EcoRI is correct. You must buy a house and have the paperwork completed by August of your first year. If not then you will have to wait until second year for residency status. The financial aid woman also told me that they don't consider you a resident just because you have lived there a year.

When I interviewed there, the financial aid stuff suggest we can buy a house to save tuition and rent if it is possible. She said the average size house (she did not specifically say the area and size) is 200K. You can sell it after school with the fact that the real estate is going up for the past 10 years.
But first of all, where to find 200K??!!

 

[Dr.BadVibes]

probably a mortgage?

But why buy a whole house? Why not a 2 bedroom condo for much much cheaper and you can rent it out to a fellow dental buddy?

I told my parents about this, and they say its a good idea, but I gotta look into it first......wait a minute, I gotta get accepted first! 😛 I know I know.....but I just wanted to scope out the scene a bit!

Im sure in other states, buying a condo could be a good investment solely on the tuition costs?
