<p>Can somebody post a list of programs that give no or very little preference to state residence?</p>

<p>I'm looking to apply for the 2009 year, and I want to know which programs I could have a better shot of getting into (living in New York).</p>

<p>Thanks in advance.</p>

<p>Which of the following:</p>

<p>SLU
MSU
PSU
PLME
HPME
UMKC
RICE
GW
HOWARD??
BU
DREXEL
LEHIGH
or any others I can't think of right now...</p>

<p>If you guys can help me out, even 1 or 2 at a time, I would greatly appreciate it.</p>

<p>Thanks</p>

<p>MSU gives alot of preference to instate students. If you don't live in Michigan, it is really hard to get it.</p>

<p>As for others, HPME and PPSP at Case both do not give preference to in state.
Hope it helps:)</p>

<p>^but that doesn't say anything about instate preference, does it?</p>

<p>I went to MSU and it didn't say a thing.</p>

6

<p>Yes it does, on the MSU website it says typically eight of 10 selected are from Michigan. But, at the interview last weekend, they told my dad that they have permission to expand the program to 12 and that those may be one or two more out of state spots.</p>

<p>PLME, GW and BU are also not in-state/out-of-state selective, but insanely hard to get into. All of the NJ programs are very geared towards NJ residents, as well.</p>

<p>Also, have you looked at SUNY-Stony Brook? I think their program may be in-state preferential.</p>

7

<p>^I meant I went to the MSU part of the website zdzdjl posted, and there was nothing about residence.</p>

8

<p>HPME at Northwestern isn't that picky about in/out of state. Most of the people in the program my year are from out of state (i'm from texas myself).</p>

9

<p>OK, so...</p>

<p>Important-NJ ones, MSU</p>

<p>Not Important-HPME,PLME, Stony Brook, BU, GW</p>

<p>How about these:
SLU
PSU
UMKC
RICE
HOWARD
DREXEL
LEHIGH
ROCHESTER</p>

<p>From last year experience:
MSU is almost impossible to get - only 2 spots for OOS.
Strongly recommend: U of Cinci - apply to all 3 undergrad and U of Toledo. The last 2 programs are in Ohio but seemed not to stress preference for in-state last year.
However, if you have near perfect stats than go with your list. Add Case's PPSP to it. It is one of the most selective ones that reguire perfect stats or some other magic to get in. If you poses either, might as well consider NEOUCOM - they allow 5 spots for OOS, more than MSU. Good luck!</p>

<p>One more - OSU. One requirement - have to be NMSF to apply and NMF to get admitted.</p>

12

<p>MiamiDAP,</p>

<p>What is OSU?
Is NMSF=National Merit Semi Finalist?
Is NMF =National Merit Finalist?</p>

<p>Thanks,</p>

13

<p>Try NEOUCOM, they have a few spots for out of staters.</p>

14

<p>Inguye02,
OSU - Ohio State University has unusual requirement for its BS/MD program (I do not remember the name of the program). Yes, you have to be National Merit Semi Finalist to apply to this program and National Merit Finalist to get accepted. There are other requirements, but the first one keeps out some otherwise very quilified applicants. Well, it is their loss.</p>

15

<p>question. which programs require mid year reports?</p>

16

<p>MSU is moving to three or four OOS spots starting this year.</p>

<p>And also, none of them <em>require</em> them, but my counselor said some of them ask for them outright and some of them use them for people who are on the fence after the interview.</p>

17

<p>UMKC said they admit a lot of OOS applicants, but when I called and asked the admissions officer why I was rejected, she said the problem in my application was that I am an OOS student. Give it a try though anyway.</p>
