Does anyone know how hard university of miami is to get into? What about Brown?

True chica. In prior years, UM wasn't very difficult to get into. Now, it seems that their policy is to make it extremely difficult (I've been seeing people with great stats getting turned away without a second thought). I think they are trying to change the entire system to move up in the rankings. It's all a part of their goal to become more nationally recognized.

Are they going to start accepting more out of staters? Otherwise its somewhat difficult to get a more nation-wide focus when 90% of your applicant pool is from Florida.

Of course, the alternative to this is money, lots and lots of money. UCSF, UCLA, and Baylor all show preferences to their state residents, but yet still are ranked high.
I imagine its hard for a school like Miami to shun public tax funds by accepting more out of state people. I'm sure they've got some kind of agreement that gives Florida state tax revenues to UMiami, based on the numbers of Florida residents they accept. Its a guaranteed revenue stream, and most med schools are very wary of cutting that type of funding off.
