AAMC statistics wrong?

I am confused about the AAMC statistics. I have been using their in-state vs. out-of-state matriculant ratio to determine which OOS schools I should apply to.

According to their site University of Washington and Oregon both accept 45% out of state, yet their sites say less than 30%, and I have heard of even less for University of Wash from others.

Do they just not count in state residents who attend out of state schools?

Maybe there's a difference in the percent they accept OOS and the percent that attends from OOS?

U of Wash can be admitting 40% OOS if you really count WWAMI as "OOS"

lol

They are either wrong or mis-leading about UW; UW has a special agreement with nearby states which have no med schools which makes it appear that some OOS students are admitted, but I would be surprised if that is 45%. I have read 5% admissions for extremely well-qualified (URM) applicants

Unless you are WWAMI resident, URM, or have heavy research experience, dont apply to Washington. You will be wasting your money.

by heavy research experience, it means applying to MSTP (which has averages of 3.8/36)
