To be fair, PNWU is honest about giving students who are from the area preference in terms of clinical sites. It's on their website. They're openly trying to recruit people from the region who plan to stay there. Obviously it's not ideal if you are not from that part of the country (it's part of why I didn't even apply), but it's not discrimination.
What about people that want to move to the region and stay there? Are we not allowed to do that?
Pretty blatant discrimination.

The trouble began with the next presentation, where the doctor giving the presentation answered a student's question about the clinical rotation point system, where points are allocated based on the student's personal connections to the area, not their performance or interests.
The tour was was even more disorganized, as we were NOT shown the inside of any of the lecture halls, the standardized patient area, or any of the mock doctor's offices because they were in use by other students.
You would think that they would reserve those spaces for the tour, as they're advertising their school to us
Discrimination: the unjust or prejudicial treatment of different categories of people or things ...
Depending on your interpretation of "prejudicial", yes... yes it its.
Edit: You know what? If they didn't want OOS students, maybe they should accept fewer of them.

Still not discrimination, why is this word thrown around so casually these days?

My god, you're an a$$hole. I'm spending too much time on SDN - my mistake.
How do they judge who actually plans on staying there and serving the community and who is just saying that? It's discrimination to select for IS and surrounding state applicants, but I don't think it's unfair if that's their mission. If you can show that you have ties to that area or have tangible reasons for wanting to settle down there, they should take that into consideration.
I understand your point, but couldn't individuals from the area do the same thing as well (I.e. Say they're staying and move away after graduation)?

I do agree with everything you said. But the word discrimination doesn't necessarily apply only to unjust discrimination. By separating applicants into groups like those who are from surrounding states and those who are not, the school is discriminating, but that doesn't make it unjust necessarily.

As someone said, it's easier to believe someone who already lives there and/or has strong ties than someone who only has a promise.
