^ Wow, impressive. What percent of Texas applicants end up going to medical school (anywhere in the country)? Do you happen to know offhand?

Interesting. The numbers were not at all what I assumed; while the percentage of applicants who matriculated in state was much higher in TX than CA (33.8% to 17.2% for CA), CA residents are much more successful at matriculating OOS (23.8% vs. a paltry 5.9% for TXans). This means a slightly lower percentage of applicants in CA (59.8%) failed to matriculate than applicants in TX (60.3%).

Found this here: http://www.aamc.org/data/facts/2007/2007slrmat5.htm . The numbers may be slightly skewed, as they don't take into account the opening of the new school in El Paso this year, but still surprising.

Looks like, strangely enough, W. Virginia is the place to be if you want to go to med school; only about 42% of their applicants failed to matriculate somewhere in the US.
 
Interesting. Interesting. Let me go check out Florida...

Thanks for the link!

EDIT: Oh wow, looks like Florida's one of the worst...

Wow, only 34% of New Hampshirians matriculate...it's a tough process.

Holy CRAPPPPPPPPPP! 21 years of preparation coming down to 3 days from now. Well I mean I wasn't doing pre-med things right out of the womb, but you know what I'm saying.

Stop making me nervous, amph!
 
I have a hunch that the fact that a lower percentage of TX applicants matriculate is strongly tied to the fact that us Texans tend to be a bit more lazy in the application process than Californians. It seems like all the CA residents know that the CA schools are very competitive, so they make sure they apply broadly; I don't think I've ever seen a CA applicant only list the CA schools on their list. On the other hand, there's a huge number of Texans that I've seen who have applied just to Texas, thinking they'll be fine (in fact, that's what I did!). I guess the moral of the story is applying broadly always helps!

I wouldn't call Texans lazy... but most assume that they will get into a state school and therefore if they really want to stay in state, which many do, they only apply in state.

Maybe "lazy" isn't the right word, but perhaps misinformed is better. If you're from CA, you know you've got it rough when it comes to state schools; it seems like the importance of applying OOS hasn't really reached TX yet.
 
Well the difference between applying OOS for Texans and OOS for Californians is that Texans have to fill out a whole new application to apply OOS. That must be pretty annoying...

Not really, as a Californian, we had to fill out the TMDSAS to apply to Texas. Plus many Texans apply to Baylor, so they already have to fill out AMCAS.

I think the main thing has to do with something I was told at the UTSW interview. The two most egocentric states are Texas and California. Now the Texas students want to stay in Texas, so they reapply if they do not get in the first time, and they also have many more seats at their schools than California does. California students cannot apply to only California schools, cuz that is basically medical suicide, considering the amount of spots available in California.

Trust me, us Texans are not gonna get any sympathy, and rightly so... I think most people would love to live in a state with 8 allopathic med schools, each of which is required by state law to give 90% of their seats to Texas residents.

Yeah, it's another month of being nervous while the rest of the country celebrates, but I'm sure there are a lot of CA residents who would trade places with us in a heartbeat! 🙂

Good luck to everyone later this week!

I guess...but I mean, I would imagine most non-Texans don't think twice about applying to Texas schools (correct me if I'm wrong here). We have something like 44 other states with schools to choose from with AMCAS and: for one, the odds of an OOSer getting in to a Texas school are pretty slim and for two, it's an extra hassle to fill out the extra application. I know that apart from Baylor I never looked at Texas twice -- why give myself more application hassle? I'm sure the schools are great, but things are really stacked against the OOSer from the get-go.

Congratulations UTNut! I was at UAB on 10/9 as well. No such luck yet for me though.
 
Before the October 15th flood comes in....

Do we want to change the font/format so it matches the interview invite threads? (smaller font and space between each school)

Also, it should probably be assume that it's not EDP unless otherwise stated? Writing 'not EDP" takes up space and we'll run out of that soon. Also it clutters.

Lastly, lets agree on a standard format for all the entries. I suggest:

username (EDP?, IS/OOS [state schools only], I: date, A: date)

Anybody else want to volunteer to actually make the changes?

Shemarty is so exhausted right now...😴

For god's sake people, you don't need so many size or font tags. You can just open it at the beginning and close it at the end. It's the same thing as putting one before and after every freaking sentence, and it saves a ton on the character limit.

If you guys think 10 days is bad, it's AWFUL being Texas in-state; they give out their OOS admission on 10/15, but if you're IS, you don't get to hear until 11/15 🙁 So while everyone else is partying it up since they're gonna be a doctor, we're still sweating it out, checking status pages, checking our email every 15 minutes on the off chance one of our schools decides to leak... gah!

UAMS (Arkansas) sends their earliest acceptance letters on December 18. Take THAT.
 
Could someone please post a thread to last year's acceptance thread so we can reference when schools generally accept applicants?

There is not alot of UG schools in NH to begin with. So I don't think that is accurate with the amount of students in state vs a state with a HUGE state college. UNH only has like 8k people. And the only Med school is Dartmouth, which is hard to get in to on it's own. The next one is UMV (which takes what 70ish% instate?) and UNECOM. We also have this werid program where if there is an UG school that does not offer what you want to major in, canadian studies for example (yes, its a realy major don't know why anyone would major in this 🙄) ,you can go to another school as an instater. I'm not sure if because your state only has one med school which happens to be Ivy this rule still applies or not or if your looked at like an instater when applying to NE schools. I've seen alot of love come from MA, NY, CT, VT, from alot of my friends who have middle range stats. I live in MA now so I guess I'm good :meanie:

An applicant's state of residency does not necessarily correlate to where he or she went for undergrad. Of New Hampshire's ~100 or so applications per year (that's a guess), the majority probably did not go to a school in the state. The low number of applicants is due to the fact that New Hampshire has a small population (~1 million).

The real issue that New Hampshire applicants face is the state's complete lack of a school (IS or OOS) that favors its residents in any way. In fact, it is one of only two states that I'm aware of (the other being Rhode Island) without any clearly defined benefits for its applicants. There is no state medical school, no OOS schools have any tuition/preference programs specifically designed for NH residents that I know of (for an example of a state without a medical school that does have such connections, take a look at Maine's relationship with both Tufts and UVM), and there is little evidence suggesting that Dartmouth gives state residents any sort of advantage (all I can discern from the MSAR is a slightly higher percentage of in-state applicants being interviewed).

Does that alone explain the high percentage of NH applicants who did not matriculate? Probably not, but it is certainly a factor to be considered when comparing the state.

The numbers were not at all what I assumed; while the percentage of applicants who matriculated in state was much higher in TX than CA (33.8% to 17.2% for CA), CA residents are much more successful at matriculating OOS (23.8% vs. a paltry 5.9% for TXans). This means a slightly lower percentage of applicants in CA (59.8%) failed to matriculate than applicants in TX (60.3%).

Found this here: http://www.aamc.org/data/facts/2007/2007slrmat5.htm . The numbers may be slightly skewed, as they don't take into account the opening of the new school in El Paso this year, but still surprising.

Looks like, strangely enough, W. Virginia is the place to be if you want to go to med school; only about 42% of their applicants failed to matriculate somewhere in the US.

Well it is hard to beat the tuition texan residents pay. Why would we go out of state and pay 3x the tuition when we can get a good and cheaper education in-state
 
Woow! Lots of New Hampshireites!😍 I too will be one of those 34%. Good luck guys.

Not a Tiger/Tarheel, I'm afraid. 😛 On a brighter note, I went to a party with a bunch of KU med students on Friday, and it was fun as hell. If you'd like some inside info from current M3's, I'll try to hook you up with one of my friends.
 
Also remember to post your interview date!

Congrats on Hopkins Vadd! Is this it for you? Was that your top choice?
