It seems the general trend is..the more people that live in a state, the more med schools they have. Makes sense.

Eh.... Washington and Arizona, ~6.5 M population each, and only 1 public school each.
Virginia: 8 M people, but 4 medical schools.

MAkes not sense

2. I am happy to see Marian drawing such strong applicants and I am hopeful that program will produce many great doctors in the coming years. I know little of ACOM but I hope for the same. CUSOM is in a state with other medical schools but I must say that it is already evident we are a unique breed, that choose to be where we are. We had over 3800 applicants for our class (2017) and I anticipate more for this cycle. 25% of our class is from NC at this point and the next largest group is coming from California, a state with cut-throat competitive IS programs. Here is an article on CUSOM, from earlier today

Nearly every school in the US has the second largest number applicants/ students coming from California

You're really defensive of CUSOM.

Anyways, Marian is from what I hear an extremely established school.You have applicants who had acceptances to schools in the Top Tier of DO choosing to get there. It implies they really have something valuable there or are the first DO school to be reasonable and give their inaugural class a freak'n scholarship for being a guinea pig.

Didn't intend it to be defensive, just getting my perspective out there for the SDN world to reflect on.
