<p>You don’t qualify for in-state tuition if you move there for education purposes. So, you would have to move there, not go to school, live and work for a year, and then apply. </p>
<p>I think you need to concentrate on schools that will either meet need or give big merit for your stats. I would contact some of your Catholic schools and talk to them about your situation. </p>
<p>I would imagine that schools like BC, Holy Cross, Fordham and some others would be especially generous to you. </p>
<p>Since you live in NY and qualify for TAP, certainly apply to Fordham and SUNYs as well.</p>
