Finding OOS (specific states) data

Specifically I'm asking about applying from California to TX and FL. I would only be looking at schools that have more than 10 seats for OOS, better chances than 3 seats of course.

How would I go about getting that? Just email the adcoms there? Or ask my Univ for the data on where our students got in?

On the online MSAR you can see in-state, out-of-state, and international acceptances.

1. MSAR
2. Search function before posting

I meant the states. I have the MSAR. I can see how many are OOS. I meant OOS by state. Like how many from Cali get into TX or FL.

Schools might have stats on how many students came from a certain state on their website. Are you asking if there is some kind of reciprocity between CA and TX or FL?

 

[syoung]

No, just standard how many from cali do get into a tx/fl school. Also if there's a bias against Cali students for tx/fl schools. If so, won't make sense to apply there. If there's precedent to accept a few from cali, may be worth my while.

Btw nice quote for your location. Book 6 needs to come out.

Search the forums for the Medical School Matriculants Data excel sheet. It has everything that you need to know.

That shows general OOS stats. I have that info. Was wondering about a state by state basis.

For example: If I applied to UT Houston, how many of those OOS came from California. <- this data I would like to find.

This data is not compiled in one place. If it is available at all it is published by the schools and you will have to go hunting on their websites for it.

 

[syoung]

Ok just wanted to check. Will hunt them sites.

I have seen this information for several schools, but never on their websites. It is usually in a newsletter, on an interview slide, or in the interview packet. I don't think I have ever found this out before I had an interview offer. Also, this is matriculant data, not acceptance data.

Due its sheer size and lack of medical schools, California topped the list of OOS matriculants at every medical school I've seen, both public and private. Don't know anything about TX of FL though.

Here are some links I have came across recently on U. of Louisville's website:
States represented:

Specific college represented:
http://louisville.edu/medschool/admissions/student-profile/entering-fall-2011/WEBSITE-Undergrad_College_11.pdf/at_download/file

Obviously this is matriculant data and not a school representing either TX or FL, but some schools do publish this info on there website. Not all will, but you will just have to do some digging to find out, OP.

 

[syoung]

Yeah, thanks guys. I know it's gonna be a bit tougher to find out, and definitely will be on the matriculant side. But that's data > 0.

 

[KindofBlue]

This is kind of off topic, but if you were literally meaning more than exactly 10 seats, that seems pretty OOS unfriendly..

 

[syoung]

True, but >10 is better than <10, like say 3. I do like 20-30 OOS seats, that's a bit better.
Who knows, they are additional schools, and maybe one of them will see me as a good fit for them.
