Welcome to the forums!

If you have grown up in the IE area, you will be in a strong position with many in-state programs. Do your networking and get a sense of how each of those schools compare to fulfill your needs with mentoring and support. Connect with MiMentor and LMSA at all of the California schools before you begin applying. Attend recruitment events when you can.

Thank you! Western MI is interesting. I have extended family nearby and the COL is low.

Adding to also check if there are MSPA chapters at the schools on your list. I would presume there is an LGBTQ+ ally group at all of the California medical schools, but check.

Thank you both.

Thank you both.

So I'm inferring that I'm a strongish applicant for my local UCs, and fairly solid for mid and lower tier OOS / privates. Dope. I'm not interested in T-whatever schools, really. If I get into UCR or UCLA, I'm good. My dream is actually if UCR offered me some FA.

When I look at accepted vs. matriculant stats on the MSAR, it seems like accepted UCR students with higher MCATs than mine go elsewhere. All of my paid clinical hours are in the IE, with about half of them and a third of my volunteering hours with rural / underserved/ low-SES populations. I'll have to tell good stories, but am I smoking something to think that I might have a shot at aid?

Being proactive puts you in a stronger position in these conversations. Check on HPSP or NHSC or similar California based opportunities regarding loan repayment. Ask students.

Ask students, check - thank you.

ETA: OK, I take back my initial skepticism. HPSP is not for me, but NHSC is a solid maybe.
