<p>I am a Florida resident. I need your help to answer a question about in-state residency requirement. Will I be classified as a resident or non-resident when I attend the medical school at Baylor? Can you please help clarify this for me? Thanks much.</p>
<p>If you have been accepted to R/B, well done. The quickest way to become a resident of the Republic of Texas is to own a “homestead”. A condo in your name will do, no cattle required. If you move off campus at the end of your 2nd or 3rd year and can swing a small down payment and have a couple of students renting a room your net housing expenses will be the same as living on campus. I am told that after the first year at BCM the administration manages to have most students qualify as Texas residents, although I am not sure how they accomplish that.</p>
<p>Hi Wobudong, Thanks much for the info. I was informed the same. It is not too hard to establish TX residency. I am not sure what to do. Stay in Florida or move to TX? Which is good?</p>
<p>It is fairly difficult if you are a student and do not own property. Technically, if you do not own property (primary home) you have to reside in TX and work for one year without being a student. You can become a resident as a student if you own a condo and it is your primary home. I have been told that the administration at BCM is very helpful in having med students become residents, even if they do not own a home, but I do not know how they do it.</p>
<p>Any one know when the interview starts? In Feb or March? When announce the results?</p>
<p>Interviews are announced at the end of March like March 23rd or something…</p>
