<p>Okay so I live in Virginia but my dad lives in Michigan. In fact, I used to live in Michigan. I still visit for spring/summer/winter break. I checked the residency forms for Umich and I qualify for instate residency. So my question is, could I still apply to a public university in virginia (like UVA) with instate residency?</p>
<p>P.S. My mom is forcing me to apply to UVA, but I prefer Umich.</p>
<p>I would assume so. You go to school in VA and live in VA for most of the year, and are a dependant of someone paying VA state taxes. CAll UVA to double check, but I hate you for having instate at two great colleges when I am instate for one soso college</p>
<p>"If your parents/parents-in-law are divorced and one parent/parent-in-law is domiciled in Michigan as defined by University Residency Classification Guidelines, you are presumed to be eligible for resident classification as long as you can demonstrate establishment of a Michigan domicile and severance of out-of-state ties."</p>
<p>This was taken directly from the site. The part that worries me is the severance of out-of-state ties.</p>
<p>Lol I know I seem kinda brattish for asking but if it was my choice I would apply only to Umich.</p>
<p>That may change things. Talk to your parents, both of them, and see which college, UVA or UMich, would be best not for you, but your whole family.</p>
<p>I have been told that the only clear way to have residency is to graduate from a Michigan highschool. We also have ties to Michigan and have rental property there - we are just on a temporary overseas job assignment and will likely move back to MI in the fall when daughter starts college. We spoke with the office on our campus visit and they said not only are we definitely OOS but that status can never change even if we move back to MI.<br>
I notice on the online application status they have a place where UofM determines your residency status separate from what you report - you can check that to see if there may be a problem.</p>
<p>Well I'm pretty sure I'll be considered in-state. The only issue I have is what "severence of out of state ties" really means.</p>
