Once I saw that your family is an Auburn family, I totally understood the bias. No problem. I think you should go to AU.

I’m not sure how you think that link shows that you’d get residency in NC by attending UNC-CH unless somehow you pay for virtually all of your costs while there with your own money, along with fulfilling the other req’ts… I also don’t know how you’d show that you’re not in NC for primarily education purposes.

An 18 year old that moves from parents’ home to a college home in another state wouldn’t be able to convince anyone that the student isn’t there for education purposes…even if the ultimate goal might be to practice medicine there many later (after residency/fellowships…and who knows what states those might take you)

I also think you’re overestimating the importance of UNC-CH being #2 in primary care.
