So I'm a recent grad (of undergrad) and I'm starting a gap year before applying to DS. I'm curious though on how in-state works and is claimed. A little bit about me; I would say I'm from VA. I went to middle and high school there, my driver's license is from there, and I typically use my dad's address there for my permanent address for most documents. However, I'm doing a gap year in Nashville, TN currently and by the time of matriculation will have lived here for over a year. I also could possibly claim Georgia; I spent a decent bit of childhood here and my mom lives here, who I'm the dependent of. I went to college in Alabama and spent time "back home" between VA and GA. So, my question is; What states can I claim and what state is most advantageous to claim?
I doubt I could claim Alabama, but GA, TN, and VA seem possible. I couldn't find stats for UTHSC in-state vs OOS, but I know GA are accepted to DCG at a higher in-state rate than VCU accepts VA residents. Also, if it helps my license expires soon anyways, I'm debating where to get a new one. Ultimately, I'd like to practice in VA, but I'd like to apply with the safest/least expensive option.
This also may be a dumb question, but I can only get away with claiming one, correct?
