    Does super small state school REALLY not matter?

    So, I know this question gets asked a lot, but I’m attending a *really small state school. There were a total of 17 students last year who graduated with a Bachelor’s in Biology last year. Overall, though... Great staff, small classes (good for getting to know the professors), guaranteed...

    Does it look bad if you do all your away rotations in one state?

    If you wanted to go back home to a particular state and did all your away rotations in that state, but also applied outside of it, would it look bad to programs in states other than that one? They can see the locations of the away rotations, I presume, yes?

That being said, my parents believe that being at a big name...

    Claiming Residency of a State to Pay In-State Tuition

    I'm just curious if this is a thing, but is it possible to somehow claim residency of a state after a year of dental school in order to pay in-state tuition? I realize it probably isn't that easy, but I've heard states differ with regards to what the requirements are for residency.

    Personal Statement - OK to express wanting to return to home state?

    Hi, I'm from a WWAMI state--in other words, no med schools here--and I was just wondering if it is OK in my personal statement to mention wanting to go back to my state in the long run? Drafting my PS I make a point about wanting to help diverse communities other than my own early on in my...

    US citizen from NY living in Canada for past 7 years as Canadian citizen, am I a legal US resident?

    Hi! I'm filling out my AMCAS app and I am unsure what to enter for my state of legal residence. I am a US citizen who lived in NY for 23 years, then moved to Canada 7 years ago and became a Canadian citizen. I do not think I should write that I am not a legal resident, that would make no sense...

    Childhood Demographics States

    So under the state listed for childhood, AMCAS states: In what area did you spend the majority of your life from birth to age eighteen?

    Unidentified Chemical Reaction triggered at Will

    I posted this on this forum on "Allopathic" I did that by mistake due to my inexperience in this forum, however people started answering there, so I'm going to keep it there. But I will also post it here since I believe Neurology may be closer. It's more like a special ability. I have it since...

    In state preference

    Why do some school's websites say they have "no state preference" for applicants, but they clearly do? UCLA's website says "No preference is given to state of residence." But UCLA is 85% people from California. UCLA also interviewed about 4% of OOS apps and 13% of IS apps. Am I missing something??
