Hi everyone!

I'm planning on applying to both MD and MD/PhD programs, but leaning more towards MD because of my most recent MCAT. I'm wondering if applying MD/PhD to my state schools would put me at a disadvantage for the MD program since MD/PhD programs don't have state residency preferences? Or does it not matter?
