I think the point she is making is that if there's an equal competitive applicant from both CA or TX, they'd offer an interview to the Californian because they're muuuuch more likely to matriculate out of state. TX has amazing schools that are literally dirt cheap. CA schools are impossible to get into.

It was the reverse when I trained.
It was not until after the advent of effective reversible contraception that women began entering the long pipeline to physician-hood in significant numbers.
Now that we can freeze eggs, we may see an up-tick in other surgical fields as well!
