<p>My question gets buried in another thread. I think that I got a better chance with a new thread:</p>
<p>I am wondering if an IS medical school may be putting more weight on the GPA/MCAT for their own state school UG students? I thought someone posted something like that a while back. It makes sense to me since the average state school may get more lower-tier students. If an IS medical school is too loose on the admission stats, it looks bad and the board examination passing rate may be ugly. They probably care less if an applicant is an athlete or has been performing in a night club. Your thoughts please.</p>
<p>I think you might be making a point here, but the structure of your sentences IS makes no sense.</p>
<p>No, they don’t. If anything, many place less emphasis on stats relative to what they could get if they accepted OOS students. Further, whether or not you attended an in state college is by far secondary to being a resident of that state. The only public med school that I know of that reserves the right to make a distinction is UMichigan. </p>
<p>All of this is pretty complex to generalize. The situation of California public med schools is VERY different than, say, Mississippi.</p>
<p>@supersnakes, IS = In State lol</p>
<p>Ha, now I look stupid. Sorry ace.</p>
