Isn’t this from us news? Also I thought this didn’t account for people who withdrew, or am I mistaken?
it's from US News & World Report. I'm pretty sure it accounts for that
Yes. I think you’re right though it probably isn’t a lot of people who withdraw before being accepted to really affect the data.
How would they determine this? Would this be an issue for such top tier schools? ive already interviewed at both these schools and the last thing I’d want is for them to think I’d choose my in state schools over them.
It is a factor for all schools, for the interview offer and matriculation. It is not a factor after an interview is granted.
I guess I’m a little confused. How would this explain why in state acceptance is so much higher for penn and Columbia?
IS candidates are the easiest to predict for any school, private or public.
how do you want me to heat map them?
Just to make sure I’m understanding this correctly, so penn/Columbia think that people from their respective states are more likely to attend, so they are more like to accept them post interview? This makes me feel poopy since I’m from a small midwestern state without any good med schools :’(
No. The algorithm that determines who should be interviewed includes the fact that many IS applicants would rather stay IS.
IS + Ivy status is a pretty unbeatable combo for any applicant.
What about oos+ ivy status (I graduated from penn). I’m just worried because I’m not in state for any of the private schools I applied to.
You graduated from HYPSM, you have a 3.97, one point from a perfect MCAT, and you already have 14 interviews. Can you explain (remember, rationally), what you're worried about? Are you worried you won't get 25/25 interviews?
Nothing about me is rational anymore haha. But actually though you’re right. I just really fell in love with these two schools and the wait till March is killing me.
I think conditional formatting with color scales within each column would be helpful. Such that the higher percentages show as closer to green and lower closer to red.
Had me out like a light, ayyy, like a light
I tried lmao
As I have stated before, this is medical school applications not Pokemon, you don’t need to catch’em all.
For what it's worth, the "P" in "HYPSM" is not Penn! Maybe that's what he's worried about!
All kidding aside, you can't possibly be smart enough to have those stats and not realize that you are not going to be discriminated against at Penn for being OOS when you went there for undergrad! Your problem there is going be competing against all the other applicants from Penn undergrad. With your stats, if don't get an A at any top school, it's not going to have anything to do with your state of residence.
Shows how in touch I am with that **** lol.For what it's worth, the "P" in "HYPSM" is not Penn! Maybe that's what he's worried about!
Yeah its for the university of phoenix online
I thought it was Podunk State of Central Nowhere?
If you are an international applicant who is good enough to get an interview, treat yourself. Simply as OOS.
Maybe they got into other top schools and went there for prestige?
I mean the med student was honest xD
I do not think you are understanding correctly. The stats you are referring to are the latest available, which are NOT for the class that just started, but for the class that started in 2018. They didn't know tuition was free until it was announced at their White Coat Ceremony! Just imagine how the 170 felt then!
Free tuition notwithstanding, not everybody wants to move to New York City.
NYU will hand out ~120 acceptances this year, and interview around 900.I do not think you are understanding correctly.

Especially considering COL in NYC could potentially be around or even more than the price of tuition at an in state school....
Now just imagine how those who decided against NYU for better aid at a different school feltI do not think you are understanding correctly.
