PA residents do get an instate boost at PA state med schools. Maybe not as much as some other states, but it is there.

At Pitt, for example, only 11% of the applicants are PA residents, but over 38% of the matriculants are PA residents.
The preference is even stronger at Temple (10.6% instate applicants; 46.3% matriculants) and Penn State-Hershey (9.9% and 42.8%)

And there is about $3000/year tuition discount for in-state student at Penn State, Temple and Pitt.

Agree that $3000/year is small potatoes when considering $50K/year COA, but it’s not nothing…
