<p>lets say my home address is NY, but i attend college at Uva</p>
<p>does that give me in state status in both VA and NY? Or do i never get VA status for purposes of applying to med schools in these states</p>
<p>also, what kind of benefit does going to the undergrad of a school with an affiliated med school have.</p>
<p>I know UCONN admits MANY premeds from their undergrad, and others automatically offer interviews to their undergrads. Any insight? If any1 has info on specifically UVa and their med school that would be great too.</p>
<p>I'm basing this on my knowledge of how state residency works in California. Your mileage may vary...</p>
<p>Unless you can establish that you are in the state on a permanent basis (education doesn't usually count), going to college in State X does not give you state resident status. </p>

<p>You would almost certianly remain an NY resident and not acquire VA residency.</p>
<p>That varies from school to school, but you should be aware that in most cases, a medical schools' "own" undergraduates are at a mild disadvantage.</p>
<p>ive never heard of them being at a disadvantage in most instances. In everything ive read, and in med school adcoms ive spoken to (NYU, UCONN, Uva, and Mt Sinai-even though they dont have an undergrad) ive been told u get a slight advantage</p>
<p>I checked into VA instate residency for my D. Seems the state has a set policy to cover all state schools. You must show you have been the primary financial support for yourself for at least a year, plus all those little things like drivers license, voters registration, etc.; otherwise you are a resident of the state in which your parents live.</p>
<p>i sometimes wonder why bluedevil even responds to threads when he really brings nothing to the conversation and just makes critical, sarcastic remarks.</p>
<p>For what it's worth, I was actually legitimately confused as to what you meant. I figured that if you were arguing that a school that didn't have undergrads gave its own undergrads an advantage, I must be missing something. (EDIT: It turned out that I was.)</p>
<p>If we're going to compare lists, Stanford, Wash U, Duke, Hopkins, and (according to Shraf) Columbia definitely put their own undergrads at a mild disadvantage. Rumors fly that the UCs do the same thing, but it would seem that this is not the case, at least at Los Angeles.</p>
<p>As I've stated elsewhere, Northwestern and Emory put their own undergrads at an advantage. If you're telling me that BU, NYU, GW and Cornell do, too, I have no factual basis for disagreeing with you (and therefore don't disagree with you).</p>
<p>Creighton looks out for their own. Big advantage for all programs for grads.</p>
<p>For the state schools you often get a huge advantage for having residency in that state. Most of the best medical schools for putting out doctors, at least according to US News rankings are state schools.</p>
