NYU, Duke, Emory, U Michigan, Ohio State are reaches with your stats. UMass accepts few non residents with no connection to the state. You could add any of these schools:
New York Medical College
TCU-UNT
Oakland Beaumont
Medical College Wisconsin

Would having a significant other in Mass be considered a connection/tie to the state?
I thought Emory was slightly above my stats but still could be considered a target school.

Having a significant other is not a tie to MA for the purpose of medical schools admissions. Emory has an instate bias. A LOR from a professor at VCU might help at VCU but not at other schools.

Thank you! WAMC in general in your opinion, if you'd be so kind as to offer it?

Over a 80% chance for a MD acceptance .

@Goro @LizzyM @gyngyn
Would you be so kind as to offer your opinion on my chances this cycle, or any comments on my school list? Also, how much do adcoms weigh undergrad rigor (such as attending a T30 undergrad)?

@Faha Thanks for your Fantastic insight and advice as usual. Can you please explain why you think Emory has an instate bias ? They had 140 matriculants last year, 40 IS, 90 OOS. Do you feel most of the OOS matriculants were Emory Undergrads and thus they were considered IS ?

Emory undergraduates who are not Georgia residents would not be considered instate. Emory interviewed 18% of Georgia residents but only 5% of OOS residents. Some of those OOS residents would be Emory undergraduates. Many would also be URM. 30% of those who matriculated were URM (over 20% African American) so it appears that they are targeting URM groups.

Hello,
Please provide some thoughts and insight, aka where do you want to go? And what do you want to do? Many premeds scroll through rankings or scores, and pick the schools they think match them, not knowing that certain schools expect certain things, for example (DUKE- em experience, VTC- research, Jefferson- loves legacies and locals, NYU- upped there competitive game 10x since last cycle)
