NY resident students who study outside of the State retain their NY residency as long as they meet the above criteria. If a student has a parent who lives outside the state, and that parent claims him or her (the student) as a dependent on (the parent’s) income tax forms, that student is disqualified as a NY resident even if the student meets the above criteria.

If Cornell were to question your residency, we would ask for documents (voter registration, driver’s license, vehicle registration and proof of domicile) that are dated at least 365 days prior to the first day of class for which you are applying. For example, if you were applying for admission to the class that begins in August 2001, your documents would need to be dated and issued by August 15, 2000. This rule does not apply to NYS income tax returns for the year 2000.

Again, every state has different rules so check with the veterinary college in your home state to find the rules on residency in your state. This year, Cornell had 293 NYS applicants and admitted 60 NYS students. We had almost 900 non-NY applicants and admitted 21 non-NY students. Your chances of gaining admission are always best at your home state veterinary college!

Advantages of Applying On-Line

Do you prefer to do business on paper rather than on-line? You may want to consider the many advantages of applying on-line.

• First, if you enter your own data on-line, you will be careful and diligent to enter the data accurately.
• Second, you do not have to wait to receive the application via the mail because the forms are instantly available with an on-line application.
• Third, on-line applications are received by the admissions office much faster than via the mail. If a transmission error occurs, an electronic message should reach you within a day. If your paper application were not delivered by the post office, it may take weeks to learn of the problem.
• Last, entering data yourself not only ensures higher accuracy, but enables you to present information exactly as you want the admissions committee to see it.

Applying on-line gives the applicant much more control over his/her application. This year, both Cornell and VMCAS will strongly encourage applicants to apply on-line. More information about applying on-line will be included in our June 2000 newsletter. On-line applications are scheduled to be ready for the 2000-01 cycle by July 2000.
