<p>Are theres schools that consider state residency very minimally? We only have one school here in maryland that considers state residency but still the overwhelming majority of students are out of state. I doubt John's Hopkins considers state residency. So I have to apply to schools that are out of state but I don't want to accidently apply to some school that only accepts state residents or something like that. Also do schools close to your state typically consider that as well? I mean will I be considered at a school in DC over an applicant with the same credentials but from CA? </p>
<p>I wish I was a DC resident so that I would be considered in-state in all 50 states.</p>
<p>DC residents most certainly are not considered in-state in all states. Where on earth did you get that idea?</p>
<p>my bad, they only get instate tuition for Maryland and Virginia schools. I have no idea why I thought it was for every state. I coulda swore I read it some where though.</p>
<p>It’s a safe bet that any pretty much all private schools won’t take into account state residency.</p>
<p>Not as safe as it may seem, schrizto. Some privates show great favoritism to IS applicants, and some show a slight favoritism. The MSAR and USNews both list the data.</p>
<p>^That is true (for example CT residents have higher acceptance rates to Yale and MO residents have higher acceptance rates to WashU, Rhode Island residents to Brown, etc.). That may be due to the fact the yield from in state is much higher (and perhaps those in-state residents can make a more convincing argument for why they would attend the med school).</p>
<p>That wasn’t the OP’s question though. He’s looking to avoid schools that “only accept state residents or something like that”. Perhaps the acceptance rate to Yale is higher for CT residents, but to not apply there for that reason is silly.</p>
