Out of State Friendly Schools?

[Gomeisgome]

Hello,

I was just wondering if these schools had a good history of accepting out-of-state applicants?
1) UC San Francisco
2) University of Chicago
3) Georgetown

And also, what are the schools that have almost zero percent chance for out-of-states?

Hello,

MSAR is more useful than the AAMC tables because it tells you how many people get IIs. Just because a school has more OOS than IS in their seats doesn't mean it's easier for those OOSers to actually get there. State schools really do favor the home team.

San Francisco is its own state of mind and often out of the planet. But it is a public school so has preference for instate CA.

@gyngyn can correct me if I'm wrong, but I'm pretty certain UCSF, UCLA and UCSD have no instate preference policies.

The only CA schools with a stated preference for CA applicants are UCD and UCR.
The fact that there are so many excellent CA applicants who want nothing more than to stay here results in a majority of them in CA schools (except Loma Linda and Stanford).

I agree with all of the above statements. MSAR is probably the best investment you could ever make for the application year. I had a terrible school list because I didn't pay attention to MSAR and it was a pretty large factor in making me a reapplicant.

I can't stress enough how useful it is. A good rule of thumb is that most private schools don't care about state residence, whereas most public schools prefer IS students. Kansas comes to mind about being particular about residence, but Indiana seems to not place as big of a preference on residence.
