<p>How can you apply for the Indiana State/Indiana SOM program when it requires you to have residence in rural Indiana to apply? [Indiana</a> State University:](<a href=“http://www1.indstate.edu/preprof/rhp.htm]Indiana”>http://www1.indstate.edu/preprof/rhp.htm)</p>
<p>I would not apply and settle for Bachelor/D.O. programs esp. since you want competitive subspecialty residencies like Anesthesiology or Neurosurgery.</p>
<p>Your ACT score needs to be much higher than a 29. Example: Penn State/JMC requires at least an ACT of 32 to even be eligible to apply. Without a higher ACT score, the rest of your application - to be frank, won’t matter.</p>
<p>The Connecticut program is 8 years. Be careful that you are picking schools based on quality of curriculum, how good they are in preparing students for boards, match lists, etc. and that fit you and not just based on number of years (Jefferson Medical College is much much better than Howard - your 1st choice, by the way). You’ll regret it later guaranteed.</p>
<p>George Washington Medical School is currently on probation by the LCME.</p>
