But it is so interesting to look at a 4 year old thrad and notice how many people are med students now and which folks are not.

If 15 years from now I am verified faculty, could we hang out?
Very, very few private schools have IS preferences. Tufts has a Maine track so that some seats are reserved for Mainers. Jefferson MAY have one for people from DE, but I don't know this for sure. Mercer has a mission to train doctors who will practice in GA, Geisinger wants people from the Scranton area. These are all that I can think of, but if it seems that other privates schools have IS biases, it's because they are located in states with large pools of talented candidates.Why do private schools (like Vandy) have any state preference? Have any comments to pass on the challenges of State vs Private school admission?
Is it? Absolutely. 60% of applicants don't get in anywhere.
Is it as hard and impossible as everyone on this website seems to make it? ... well ...
That’s because SDN pre-allo is tryhard central. You have people saying they’re studying for step 1 right after they get an acceptance.
I'm curious, Goro, what makes IL one of the lucky states? There is only one public in-state school if you don't live in Southern IL.IA, NM, SD, ND, MS, AL, GA, TN, WA, KS, AR, LA, NE, HI, IN, IL, WI, MN, MO, KY

Edit: forgot about U of I new school, but it is really only for an engineering background.
Also you have the reinvented applicants with a horrible first few years of college and/or bad original degree followed by fantastic upward trend, postbacc, or SMP. And as for SMP, those GPAs will not be reported in the AAMC table which, I believe, only includes UG GPA.
