Pre med in state vs OOS

Sometime there may be a small advantage for attending an instate undergrad. Typically your instate flagship and other major instate universities are the biggest feeder schools for your state med school(s). This means the adcomm members are familiar with the quality and difficulty of the coursework offered at those school. The adcomm are also familiar with instate recommenders so any strong recommendations may carry slightly more weight than from someone the application readers aren’t familiar with.
