Could we get a list going of schools that require or or highly weight your state of residence?

I know one right now is

MUSC: Called and was told as a MI resident I would have low chances of acceptance even though my numbers were comfortably above the averages.

What others?

Inb4, this was created before, yes I am
sure it has but none have been created for this current year and schools often change these policies year to year depending on their future goals.

Most public schools?

I don't know that there's a good list of schools with %'s anywhere.

Use the MAR, Luke.

Any state where they have a physician shortage (generally rural). I know for sure that Arkansas and Hawaii both consider ties to be important - I don't think it is as big of a factor at Hawaii, though.

definitely all 3 schools in SC! also a couple places in NC, VA, etc...a lot of states need more doctors

ECU is NC exclusive. We have a terrible shortage in the eastern counties, because almost all of our urban centers are to the west. It leaves the east pretty lacking in doctors; we're 31st in the country for physician to patient ratio. But we have whole counties that don't have a general surgeon.

Our other three MD schools have fierce composition- Duke, UNC, and Wake Forest. Not sure how Campbell will play into that, but we'll see.

Duke and Campbell are private, so they won't have in-state tuition anyway. But that's all I know about. ^^

MSAR?

If the school takes 10% or less OOS students, chances are they may highly favor state residents...

For California, UC Riverside and UC Davis. The rest of the schools in CA don't have strong in-state preferences.

-Wake is also private.

-UNC doesn't take that many out of state (though the criteria for residency aren't horribly strict and you can apparently get classified as in-state after the first year) and has the following policy regarding OOS students: "Supplemental applications will typically be sent to qualified out-of-state applicants who meet the following academic criteria: science GPA (or BCPM) of 3.49; cumulative GPA of 3.59 and a total MCAT score of 33 or greater."

Just fantastic.

I swear NC residency is pretty much useless lol; but I didn't know Wake Forest was private. My bad.

I mean, we have a med school that only accepts NC residents (ECU), and both ECU and UNC have tuition <$20k. They are two of the cheapest medical schools in the country. Better than some (most?) states. I am taking out a full 20-40k less than I would have going to one of the other schools I was considering.

EDIT: By "not horribly strict" I meant you can establish residency (for UNC, no idea about ECU) by living here for 1 year for purposes other than attending school, and most OOS med students get it after one year. More lenient than a lot of states but certainly not a piece of cake.
