this is my big question. I have interviewed at Meharry, and I worry so much about not being able to match at the California program if I graduate from Meharry. Because my both parents are very old, and I must come back to them after med school, so I must come back to CA to do my residency.
1st question: Will I have a chance to come back to CA even if I have good board scores at Meharry? One thing: I am not african-american, but that's not my concern at all. My only concern is how does the residency director look at the non-blacks graduated from Meharry?
2nd question: How much does residency director look at the name of the school when selecting resident if two people have almost the same credentials?
3rd question: I know for the fact that if you have been admitted for medical school the first time, but you declined it, and then reapply, most admission committee will not like it very much. So, if the chance of matching CA program is very slim if I graduate from Meharry, I won't go there even if they accept me, and I will reapply again this summer. But I don't want to reapply and have to explain why I didn't go to Meharry. So is it wise to withdraw my application to Meharry before they accept me?
Finally, I personally like the environment of Meharry Medical College, but I just worry about my parents too much after I figured out they won't move to Tennessee with me.
So please help me with the experiences you have in the matching process. I truly appreciate them, and I am sorry if I have offended anybody by this post.
