<p>Does UW usually harvest the students who were in their Undergraduate programs for medical school or is it residencey based?</p>
<p>Or maybe I'm wrong and it's medschool is totally merit based?</p>
<p>answers would be appreciated</p>
<p>I believe UW mainly admits WA residents plus a certain number from the other NW states, part of the WWAMI program (WA, Wyoming, Alaska, Montana, Idaho). It is the only state medical school for all those states. You can look around on their web site for more info. This page gives specific answers to your questions.</p>
