Yeah, I get that haha, but you have to look at it in proportion to the applicant pool. About 250 interviews are given to the 5,000+ OOS applicants, while another 250 are given to the 1,000 IS applicants. While that is technically "half," it still heavily favors in-state applicants. Even after interviews, IS applicants are much more likely to receive acceptances. Post-interview acceptance rates are like 70% for IS compared to 45% for OOS. I’d like to think they’re working to improve the process. From what I’ve heard from the admissions committee, they do seem to understand how tough this process is. They even increased the class size to around 170–180 this year.30 % is a lot lolol idk why they took it down , again less transparency. but I think half of their interviews they give to out of staters and half in state. I do they they should extend more interviewers invites to their in staters, each school has a certain capacity they can interview. They shouldn’t even be ‘friendly’ I heard they get more tuition lolol for one but we don’t know any of their reasoning unless they are more transparent. But we got this if not UMSOM will we flourish in other states
Tbh tho, so much of this application process is luck-based. if someone on the admissions committee had some bad fish the day they came across your application, you might be screwed🤷♂️. There needs to be some serious reform to this process nationwide, cus we're in a doctor shortage, but the barrier to entry has only increased🫤
