What is the definition of a Louisiana resident?
The rules are pretty complex, but if you are a dependent, your parent(s) must have lived in Louisiana for 12 consecutive months immediately prior to the first day of medical school. If you are independent, you have the same residency requirement and you have to show evidence that you intend to make Louisiana your permanent domicile. Attending school does not count unless you are self-supporting during that time. Just owning property in Louisiana or having relatives who are Louisiana residents does not help.
