Isn't This A No-Brainer?

Public med schools and law schools can’t give a lot of preference to students at their schools because of how the state controls where those professional schools can be. For instance, the vet school is at Auburn. And the dental school is at UAB., as well as the med school. Bama students who apply to Auburn’s vet school are supposed to get equal consideration…and vice versa.

They can give preference to students who attend Alabama publics, but they’d be on shaky grounds to give preference to their own undergrads.

Thanks, that makes sense!

Are OOS students who graduate from Bama considered in-state or out-of-state for these professional schools? If they rent an off-campus apartment and remain in the state over the summer to work, is that enough to establish IS residency?

OP, this may be something to discuss with your DD too to help her see things more your way!
