NH state resident...we don't have a state school?

[Jolt21]

Does Vermont College of Medicine treat us as in-state? Or are we just screwed? I just learned I won't be able to claim Texas residency....this sucks.

UVM won't treat you as in-state...but they do have a deal with Maine. UCONN will give NH residents a slight discount on first-year tuition before you apply for in-state residency, but I'm not sure if they treat you as in-state for admissions purposes. Dartmouth will give you a slight in-state advantage in terms of admissions since NH provides them with a small amount of funding...but there's no tuition benefit or anything.

And...good Lupe song!

Rock the MCAT and it won't matter.

This is kinda off-topic but I noticed on your mdapps that you "were invited to enroll in a med school class and received an A-."

How was that experience and how did it even come about?

Yep, I was a NH resident and the situation we face when applying to medical school kind of sucks.

I ended up getting married before I applied (not strictly for this reason or anything), which allowed me to become an Ohio resident. (Of course then I ended up getting accepted OOS at UMDNJ, but that's a whole other story...)

At my interview there, I learned that Dartmouth does provide NH residents with a slight advantage in the admissions process (they strive - but are not required - to fill five seats in each class with NH residents).

I wouldn't rely on that, however, and encourage you to have a strong application and apply broadly.

I was a NH applicant. It blows...not only do you not have a state school but you are also at a disadvantage at every almost every other state school. I ended up applying to only private schools 🙁

Oh and Dartmouth saves 5 seats for NH AND Maine kids...

We would be as disadvantaged as other OOS'ers for other state schools...in fact I like to think that we're actually at an advantage (not really) since New Hampshire is a small, unique state that's more interesting to an adcom reading applications from OOS'ers than yet another applicant from Cali.

True except most people have at least 1 state school to apply to where they are not at an OOS disadvantage (California is a different story)...

On the other hand, you have lower taxes than other states.

I'm from DC and in the same boat. I lost my NYS residency, which was so incredibly painful for my app 🙁 I still have no acceptances.

there are several states without med schools and even though they supposedly get an advantage at some schools (ex. the WAMI, WICHE programs) this is not always much of an advantage. there are also states with only one state school (oregon, for example) which can be quite competitive. so, your case really isn't that special. just apply to a bunch of private schools and pick your OOS public schools carefully.
