<p>Well, “contiguous” means “touching, in contact” or “in close proximity without actually touching; near” so it’s kinda a loose definition. You may have to ask them because contiguous makes the guidelines a little iffy. However, looking at this, I’d probably guess that California residents aren’t eligible because looking on a map, Missouri is closer to the East coast, about four states away from California. So it would depend on how they define “contiguous”.</p>
<p>contiguous means “sharing a boundary with” and CA obviously doesnt. I saw them list the states and it was only the ones sharing boundaries with MO (kansas, arkansas, IL, etc.)</p>
<p>lucky missouri people.</p>
<p>Does anyone know the acceptance rate for this program?</p>
<p>schritzo: now that I think about it, i guess we missourians are pretty lucky, considering that we have UMKC 6-year AND conley scholars (as well as SLU and WashU Univeristy Scholars). But most universities with a med. school do have some sort of 8-year combined scholars program.</p>
<p>divine - sorry to say, but you are very incorrect. most med schools do not have anything close to a 8-year combined program. it is very rare for a med school to have one of those.</p>
