<p>I've got a residency question for any folks who may have some insight on the matter. I'm applying to UNC School of Law when applications open in the fall (so I'd start fall 2012; not this coming fall term). I was born in Winston-Salem, NC and grew up there, graduated high school, registered to vote, voted, driver license, etc etc etc....I went to college in Mississippi for 4 years, graduated, moved back and lived with a parent for several months while working. Long story short, I moved to South Carolina to work, but spent less than a year there. I still have a valid NC Driver License, voter reg, bank accounts, church membership, etc, but did pay SC state income taxes for the time I was there (although I received a tax refund from the state). From my point of view (reading the NC residency long form from UNC), the permanent domicile they refer to would be sustained by my parent's home where I grew up and lived for a time after college as well. This, coupled with the supporting documents I would think would be enough to maintain my NC residency (although I lived out of state for a time), and would make admission much more likely due to the UNC's 75% IS vs 25% OOS standard they try to employ.</p>
<p>That was a whole lot more than I meant to write, so if you've gotten this far, thanks for reading. Any thoughts about whether I'm still classified as an NC resident is appreciated. Thanks in advance.</p>
