Are theres schools that consider state residency very minimally? We only have one school here in maryland that considers state residency but still the overwhelming majority of students are out of state. I doubt John's Hopkins considers state residency. So I have to apply to schools that are out of state but I don't want to accidently apply to some school that only accepts state residents or extremely favors residents. Also do schools close to your state typically consider that as well? I mean will I be considered at a school in DC over an applicant with the same credentials but from CA?
I was considering UND for example until I found out they barely accept anyone out of state, especially those who don't live near ND.

It's JohnSSSSS Hopkins. "Hopkins" does not belong to John. Sorry, it's just as an undergrad you get tired of hearing it get butchered (even though it is kind of a stupid name).

And yes, a ton of schools consider state residency minimally or not at all. Most of them are private. Go look up the info in MSAR, it'll provide you with more relevant info into how many OOSers vs ISers are given interviews at certain schools.

All state schools will consider state residency. Almost all private schools will not.

There are a few private schools that do consider state residency, such as Loyola in Chicago. They reserve a certain number of seats for Illinois residents. I had a great list at one point of which med schools accepted out-of-state students and in-state students equally. I'll try to dig it up again.
