Slightly off-topic, but in the same vein: We just moved down to California in August and do intend to stay in California for many years beyond our schooling, if not for the rest of our lives. In our first two weeks, we obtained drivers licenses and changed our car plates over. We also changed our addresses with every institution we may have been affiliated with and registered to vote in Californi (as well as cancelling our voter registration in Washington). Is there anything that we’ve missed for residency requirements? If I am accepted, do I have a shot at getting residency?
Side note (which may not mean a lot): We do plan to get married in California next summer as well, if that helps at all.
