Thanks for your answers.
Yes, UIUC will be our first choice.
While being a vet is my D’s lifelong dream from the her first year birthday wish to today.
At the same time it is bit more challanging to get into UIUC and I see A&M has comparitvelly easier criteria to get admitteed to DVM program, that’s why I was exploring other option if UIUC doesn’t pan out.
I was reading how you can establish residecy in state of Texas and this is what school website said.
Q: “How do I establish residency?”
“One must be an independent (not claimed as a dependent for income tax purposes), US citizen or permanent resident, (have a green card, also known as card I-551 or the evidence of I-551 stamp in the passport) or international student who is eligible to establish a domicile in Texas and live in the state of Texas for 12 consecutive months and establish a domicile in Texas prior to enrollment.”
This means, as far as I don’t claim my daughter as dependent on my tax forms and she stays/works in TX. for 12 months, she can establish residency without 25 year age requirement, correct?
I would still appreciate answers to other questions but iterating them here once again.
- If she does her pre-vet study at one of the Texas school, can that also help her meet residentcy requiremeent as she is going to do her 4 year undergradeuate/pre-vet from State of Texas?
- If she does 4 year undergraduate study in Texas, does she qualify as resident for undergrad from 2nd year as she will be resident for first year during her undergrad? Or she has to pay out-of-state fee for all 4 years of her undergrad study?
- What is the best feeder school for undergrad/pre-vet to get admitted to Texas A&M DVM admissison?
Thanks again,
