As an in-stater and alumni, I think I need to clear up some things:
1. If you get a rejection from UB, it won't be until at least November.
2. UB is a state-funded institution. Consequently, if they lose preference for in-staters...bye-bye funding.
3. An article was recently published in the Buffalo News stating that the class is growing by about 40 seats, most of which are dedicated towards allowing more students from WNY to attend medical school, thereby increasing WNY's chances of having home-grown physicians practicing nearby.
4. Yes, UB is experiencing funding troubles. However, you don't alleviate those funding troubles by losing your state funding (see #2).
5. I know in-staters at UB with
LizzyM's in the very very low 60's. Out-of-staters...probably need to exceed that mark (significantly).
6. The process is random.
