No.
Ok, thanks. What other med schools tend to favor their own undergrads?

OP is talking about a program where you apply to medical school during high school.
I applied to HPME in high school but I got rejected before they even gave out the application. I still got into NU anyways and just got into Feinberg through the NUPSP program (early admission but for NU undergrads and you apply at the beggining of Junior year). Just goes to show, getting in through HPME does mean you wont get into Feinberg.
Actually, most people aren't ready to make that decision on their own until after they have experience in undergrad. After all, HPME pretty much expects you to have clinical experience and research and volunteering all within your high school resume. As someone who does not have parents (or even extended family members/family friends) in the medical field, this was not a possibility for me in high school. However, through my connections on campus, I was able to find the opportunities I needed to explore the medical field. Conclusion, apply if you can, but dont take it to seriously if you dont get in.

University of Michigan, 25% of their class seems to be consistently U of M undergrads. About 50% are Michigan residents, as a public school.
Where did you hear that Weill Cornell doesn't favor Cornell undergraduates?
SDN has had posts on both sides (and more recently, on the side that Weill Cornell does have preference towards Cornell undergraduates).
Brown, Dartmouth, Yale, Stanford, etc. Most of the Ivies/equivalents except for perhaps Harvard and Columbia (though Columbia really likes taking people from the Ivies and Harvard ends up taking a lot of its own undergrads anyway).
To answer your question - Feinberg has never demonstrated any institutional preferences for Illinois residents. The classes are from all over the world.
They have really cut down the HPME spots in previous years, but hell, if you're qualified for HPME, I'd also consider the Ivy's and have a great time, get a good pedigree, and just apply the normal route.
I am... ahem... not biased in any of these recommendations, nor do I have any personal experience. Ahem.

Yeah...I hope they don't dissolve the HPME program completely as I've beeen hearing that they've been taking up spots at Feinberg for more qualified students.
