Currently I live in Arlington, VA and I may or may not be moving to Hawaii fall of '14 to live closer to my parents and sister. However, my best friend is an oms-1 at Nova and I would like to move down there with him to finish school and have a better shot at getting accepted there. But the only problem is $$$. It's expensive down there as you all probably know.
I moved to Virginia from Florida almost a year ago. I went to elementary, middle, and high school in Florida. I also served six years in the Florida Army National Guard, where I obviously took part in a lot of community service. The Guard definitely helped out for what I would consider ECs, and community service hours relative to Florida. Just the military, I have heard, alone helps out your med school application a little bit.
Obviously I am set on going to NSU. I guess you could say it is "that one school" that I would choose over a lot of schools. Does it sound like if I didn't move back to Florida, and to Hawaii instead I would have a fair shot as an OOSer due to my connection to Florida? This is assuming my gpa and mcat allow me to be competitive as an applicant.
Thank you in advance for reading, and offering insight.
