Did you receive the link from Drexel?
Director Ripa said you can bring up your desire for 7yr as soon as you’re offered admission and she might be able to help finalize it. Please follow up with her afterBSMD admission is offered.
We didn’t hear from Hofstra either sadly
Anyone hear from Stony Brook?
School ranking does matter, so please factor it into your decision.
There are too many med school applicants in CA., I heard. If compared on same metric (tuition + fee), Upstate is not too far off on cost but ranking totally different story 
University of California – San Francisco School of Medicine
- Out-of-state tuition & fees: $53,777
- In-state tuition & fees: $41,532
If you get NMF scholarship (25k), go with BU (BU/ PSU/SKMC / UConn).

Not all CA applicants can get into a CA medical school (supply vs demand) or a CA residency. They tend to prefer north east for greener pasteur.
No matter what, but you have to navigate through Midwest.

For OOS students, after 4 year BS in state X, will the student become in-state if the student chooses to pursue Medicine in the same State X?
Last year I heard in this forum that SUNY Purchase was letting one go with either 7 or 8 year options. But students have to make up their minds very early in the game. Probably will give apply out option for 8 years while still retaining the slot. You have to find out.
I don’t believe all the medical schools allow for in-state fee just because you did UG in that state. But there was some talk on this forum that NJMS does it and Upstate’s Jennifer Welch mentioned somewhere that either they charge in-state fee or there are ways to become in-state for NY.

In most of the cases - it is not the case. If you are a full time student, you will be considered dependent of your parents and will be resident of your parents state. If you take a gap year and work in state X, you might be able to claim as resident of state X.

Anyone heard from Stony brook ?
Not yet
You should be asking your C that question 
Tough call between PSU/SKMC vs BU. More research needs to be done before you decide. Previous years CC members preferred BU over PSU/SKMC.
Not if you fly SouthWest 
She asked me to get input from CC 
BU might give her more clinical exposure opportunities compared to PSU during UG
