<p>OP your problems are complicated and likely won’t be answered here but instead only by the university. You and your mom will not be moving to Michigan until April. That means you cannot claim you are a resident on the application for admission or a FAFSA that would be filed by March – you cannot assert residency on those based upon what you plan to do later. And you need to file that FAFSA by March to be able to get any aid for the first college year. </p>
<p>Thus, any initial evaluation of your admission and financial aid package will be based on your being a non-resident of Michigan. Then after the move, assuming you have been admitted and did get financial aid, you can apply for residency status. Michigan lists guidelines for that and you may or may not qualify and likely the school will do an evalaution and issue a determination which could go either way and if against you you won’t be able to do much about for that first semester or even first year. Assuming it allows the residency status change, then you can request a redetermination of your finacial aid if any was given; in fact, that reevaluation may be required because of your change to residency status paying in-state tuition. But that does not mean you will ultimately end up with any great fiancial aid package. You are possibly making an assumption that the aid given will necessarily be good; Michigan does not guarantee to meet 100% of need as shown by a FAFSA evaluation and it usually does not not so you could be disaappointed with the ultimate result.</p>
