So my parents are residents of New York, my father files his tax returns and his drivers license is in new York my parents home is under my uncles name. after 9th grade i studied abroad for the last 3 years and i currently want to apply for college in new york, am i still considered as a resident of new york??
Yes. Residency is dependent on your parents unless you are considered an independent student which is highly unlikely.
Where do your parents physically live? You must have a physical presence in NY for NYS residency
Even if your parents are filing taxes in NY, if they do not physically live here, you will not be considered a resident for NYS aid, SUNY or CUNY
You will be flagged because you did not graduate high school in NYS
