Rolling Admissions...More like Rolling Rejections (for me)

You needed to make this known before or at same time as secondary, either by additional letter or by crafting a secondary response that included background info, no matter the question. Once your application is complete and being evaluated, it is essentially too late to update on state ties as you are already in OOS pile.

As for which schools have resource protection, you should have known this before you applied as this info can be gleaned from MSAR
1) OOS interview invites / OOS applicants
2) OOS matriculants / OOS invites
3) OOO matriculants / OOS applicants

These ratios should have been on your spreadsheet for each school you applied to. They would have indicated your chances.

Additionally, your indepth reading of each school’s website may have given some more info as many will discuss their OOS preferences. Many will say they only consider those with strong state ties.

Thank you! I appreciate all of the help. Would it make a difference if you are applying to your state school with statistics above the top 10% based on the MSAR? In other words, are medical schools also likely to yield protect or summarily reject an applicant that is well above the school's median or top 10% for in state applicants too?

There is always a way to work in your strong connections to an area or school.
There is nothing you can do about a computer filter.
All schools manage their resources wisely. Admissions officers who didn't would be fired.
The disclosure is in the MSAR.

Thank you!
