    In-State residency at Penn Vet

    Does anyone have experience gaining Pennsylvania residency prior to applying to PennVet? I intend on moving to the Philadelphia area to work in the upcoming months and I want to see if I can apply as a PA resident. I can't seem to find Penn's requirements for residency anywhere on their website.
