All three have good state schools with high in-state acceptance rates (especially at UVM). I'm not looking to enter medical school until 2018 so I have time to establish residency. I'm looking to maximize my chances at a school that fits me well. I have lots of family in Wisconsin so that's the most convenient, but I also have some connections in Vermont and a professional contact in Oregon for work. UW is the cheapest and highest-ranked in research, but those would only be tiebreakers.
My background:
-Non-trad, hope to enter at 26/27.
-CGPA and SGPA are both above 3.8, from postbac and a famously difficult undergrad school.
-I haven't taken the MCAT yet but I test well and I plan to be prepared.
-Several publications, some medical and some political/think tank-type stuff.
-I'm more interested in research/academic medicine, but not averse to primary care.
-Lots of fairly unusual international work experience, in some rough places.
-I'm considering an MD/MPH, and I'm interested in MSF-type work.
-I'm bilingual, although the other language isn't spoken widely in the US.
-I'm a good writer, and I write a good "why medicine?" essay.
-Varsity athlete in undergrad.
-I need to get a lot more clinical experience and patient exposure.
