<p>Currently, I live in NJ. My father got a new job in June 2004 in NC, and has been living there in an apartment for the past year, coming up to NJ on holidays. (My parents are happily married, by the way.) According to the Residency rules, one must establish residency in NC for at least one year to be eligible. Well this summer, my dad will have been living there for a year. I applied as a resident, but will I be reviewed as one?</p>
<p>FYI...I know i have absolutely no shot as an out of stater with an SAT of 1230 and a GPA of 3.8</p>
<p>Oh yeah and they know that i will be moving to NC this summer. I had to fill out a lot of paperwork</p>
<p>Hey, I was sort of in the same situation. My parents are divorced and my Dad moved to NC in June 2003. I filled out the long residency application and they classified me as a NC resident for admissions and tuition purposes. I am so glad I was. I was deferred but if I wasn't in-state I wouldn't have even had that. </p>
<p>The residency person to contact at UNC is Ellen Clark. She helped me out when I e-mailed her questions. Her e-mail is <a href="mailto:eclark@email.unc.edu">eclark@email.unc.edu</a> . </p>
<p>With your situation it may be more complicated because your dad has not been living in NC for a year when you applied. I don't know how that will play out but e-mail Ellen Clark and she should help you out.</p>
<p>Deferred...grew up in md...classified as an nc resident

pted</p>
<p>That happened to my brother, my family moved to NC the spring he applied to NC State (engineering), my dad had been there working for longer. They didn't consider him a resident that year. Did your dad file his taxes in NC and everything? Since your parents are still married it sounds like he's just down in NC for his job, and since your parents file joint taxes he's probably still a resident of your old state. If he did file in NC and get a drivers license and all that, you could probably aim for paying in-state tuition in the fall, but I don't think they'll consider you as instate for admission. (since it wasnt a year when you applied)</p>
