Hello all. I recently got engaged to the love of my life. She was born and raised in Wyoming, and went to school in South Dakota. I was born and raised in Wisconsin, which is where we both live now.
We both would much prefer I attend school here in Wisconsin primarily due to proximity to most of our family members, but obviously this is not a guarantee.
After Wisconsin (and the midwest in general), attending school out west is very much preferred to heading east or south for a variety of reasons. Unfortunately, options are much more limited. Especially to OOS students, like myself, without any 'strong' ties to those states.
So my fiancée and I are wondering if her legitimate strong ties to Wyoming and South Dakota would be considered a good enough reason for submitting my application to the Universities of Washington and South Dakota and not immediately get thrown away. For additional context, I intend to practice rural medicine, and neither of us have any interest in living near the large urban centers on the coasts.
I am interested to hear what everyone thinks. Thanks in advance!
