<p>I am a resident of Florida and let's say that I want to become an Alabama resident while I pursue EMSAP program (BS/MD). The duration of the program is like 7-8 years. Can I claim in-state residency under following condition?</p>
<p>Get a part-time job and pay state taxes on my own, would this make me a resident? Is there any age requirement to file a 1040-EZ on my own?</p>
<p>I do not want to pay exorbiant out-of-state medical school tuition. That is my key point. Can anyone help?</p>
<p>There seems to be a state wide statute on what it takes to establish residency</p>

<p>“I do not want to pay exorbiant out-of-state medical school tuition.” Because you’d rather have Alabama tax payers pay for it. </p>
<p>Ummmmmm, right. </p>
<p>Establish residency, pay your taxes, live there for 12 months and then apply. Then, you can enjoy in-state reduced rates. Otherwise look for a Florida program.</p>
<p>I’ve heard that most states require you live in the state for a certain amount of time BEFORE enrolling in college to establish residency. This does differ from state to state so you should be certain of the requirements before applying as T26E4 points out.</p>

<p>Would you please share your stats when you applied and were accpted to EMSAP!</p>
