Hey everyone! I'm currently enrolled as an out of state UC Denver freshman. The problem is that I'm not really a fan of the commuter school. I wanted to go to a traditional school and Colorado State University seems like the perfect fit for me. However, I really want to go to the UC Anschutz Dental School and I feel like going to its sister school would increase my chances of getting in (especially since getting admitted into dental school is very difficult.) Looking at the statistics, applying as an in-state student has a much higher rate of getting an interview. To become a resident, you have to work full-time for twelve months (correct me if I'm wrong.) And that's not possible for me if I'm going to school full time. So would I have to take a gap year to gain residency? Or it possible for me to get it while I'm still in school? I have an aunt that lives in Colorado and she said I can use her address, but I'm not sure how or what to do with that. Going back home for graduate school won't be possible, since I'm from a state that has no dental schools. Would it be best for me to stay at UC Denver or can I go up to CSU for school and have the same chances of getting in? Going back home for my undergrad is also an option since it would be much cheaper, but I don't really want to go back and moving back to CO again after leaving would not be ideal.
