<p>hi im currently a junior...
i moved to california from korea when i was a soph...but i might move to arizona next year which is my senior year...do i still apply to uc as a in state???</p>
<p>*i was born in maryland...when my dad studied there</p>
<p>I don't think you will be in-state for UCs if you move to AZ.</p>
<p>wow...thats sad.....</p>
<p>or am i just an international student????</p>
<p>Are you a US citizen?
If so, I am not sure about your family situation, but I think it would be a bad idea to move to arizona in your final year. You are gonna lose in-state privelages to the best public college system in the world, and you are gonna be going to a different high school your senior year, which will only make things alot more complicated. Again, your family situation could defintely override this importance.</p>
<p>I think you have to live in California for both sophomore and junior years to qualify as a resident. Or maybe it was junior and senior years. Either way, you wouldn't qualify if you moved to Arizona.</p>
<p>i lived in ca in my soph year and junior year...</p>
<p>call them up :D.</p>
<p>I don't think you can remain an official California resident after only two years there. :rolleyes:</p>
<p>so..am i only gonna be an international students???</p>
<p>Go to the UC websites and do your homework.</p>
<p>While in most states it takes time to establish residency for purposes of in-state tuition and admissions policies, one can "de-establish" residency in the time it takes to complete a move. Becoming "domiciled" (i.e. moving to a new location with the intent to make it your principle residence) in a place is the first element of establishing residency in a state. To be domiciled in a new state, by definition you are no longer domiciled in the old state, and thus you have lost one of the elements of residency in the first state.</p>
<p>From the University of California web site: "To be considered a California resident for purposes of fees, an out-of-state student must have lived in California for more than one year preceding the residence determination date, relinquish residence in other states, show an intent to establish residency in California and demonstrate financial independence. Unmarried undergraduates from other states qualify as financially independent if they were not claimed by their parents or others as dependents for tax purposes for two preceding tax years and if their annual income is sufficient to meet their needs. All married students and unmarried graduate and professional students from other states qualify as financially independent if their parents or others have not claimed them as dependents for tax purposes for the preceding year."</p>
<p>so long as you didnt throw away the us citizenship you got when you were born in maryland, you are not an international student. i have freinds who moved to india for 5+ years and didnt apply as international students. you may not have a state school that you are allowed to apply to, but i think maybe arizona will consider you a resident (i have no idea tho). if you want to have the lower instate tuition rates then my bet is AZ, but you have to call the colleges. you could always hunt for scholarships at other public schools and private schools. it also seems like you have moved quite a bit so even if you go to UAZ your parents may move before you finnish and i dont know how that affects tuition.</p>
