How likely will I be classified as a Michigan resident ?

<p>You are on a risky slope, MahmoudKhalil. There is a strong likelihood that you will not be considered an instate resident in Michigan. Fact is…you don’t reside there and according to the info on the Michigan website, you will not have established your "domicile’ in Michigan for sufficient time before you enroll…never mind that you won’t be a resident at ALL when you apply. </p>

<p>You are expecting the state to do a special consideration of your residencey status so they can give you thousands of dollars in aid that the Michigan taxpayers have contributed to? I do not think this is going to happen.</p>

<p>Many folks living outside of the U.S. find themselves in the SAME situation when they return to go to college…they are NOT residents of any state and do not have instate residency classification in ANY state. That is the way it is.</p>

<p>Best plan would be to come here…move to Michigan (or wherever you plan to become a permanent resident), meet THAT state’s instate residency requirement AND THEN apply to colleges…might mean a gap year.</p>
