Same with me! Jefferson needs to get their act together. I withdrew weeks ago when I got my UW acceptance. :laugh:

I guess it's all the more reason to not go there. :meanie:

Nice! I actually met someone on their admissions committee at a conference last year who urged me to apply there... and I never even got an interview. Haha

Maybe because you're from Cali? I just felt like a lot of my application cycle was largely location biased. Did you get that vibe, or was it just me?

Oh definitely. I think location bias plays a big role in medical school admissions, which actually makes a lot of sense. And having average-ish numbers certainly doesn't help, lol

But I'm still OOS, I'm just really close by. Same with GW. It makes sense that I got an interview at Maryland, but does the location bias still apply to the "close by" OOS schools?

Yeah, I would think so. At least that was my experience. I think schools realize that, in general, students that live near by are more likely to matriculate there. Loyola is a really good example--a private school (so no obligation to admit in-state students) with the majority of their students coming from that part of the country.

I feel like every interview I'm at theres a significant amount of Californians though. At least we'll never be alone wherever we matriculate? 😀

Well.. considering that California is the largest state (no one cares about Alaska), it's definitely reasonable.

It's definitely a tie between location bias and scholarship.
