<p>is it right that to be considered ‘in-state’ u gotta live in that state for a year before u can apply as an in-state student?
i’m not sure what my status is… i live in Bangladesh, my family was sort of planning to immigrate… we went to visit, for like a month… half my family already left, but im still livin here, so… though i already got my green card, since i’m applying from Bangladesh, am i international?? if so, what r my chances at getting financial aid/scholarship? at places like U of Notre Dame, U of Michigan Ann Arbor, NYU,U of Illinois Urbana-Champaign…
please help?</p>
<p>ur chances of fin aid from a state school isnt all that high compared to a private…</p>
<p>and yeah, you are not instate but since you have a green card, you can apply as domestic i believe</p>
<p>Why not call them?</p>
<p>Your residency status follows your parents … assuming you are still dependent. If your parents are already in the States, you will become resident of the state they reside in when you arrive … provided they have already lived in that state for a year or more.</p>
<p>Since you’ve already have your green card, you should fill in the application form for “domestic students”, not the one for “international students” … as you do not require a visa (hence an I-20) and are eligible for financial aids.</p>

It’s true that your chance for financial aids at a state school isn’t that high if you are considered out-of-state. The only state school where you will have an advantage is the state where you will be considered in-state.</p>
