<p>VCU (as of this year): 300 applied, 60 interviewed, 30 accepted, about 25ish may matriculate. Although they do give some in state preference, I don’t think it’s as bad as a lot of the other programs (I’m from CA, and I know a couple of kids who got in from Oregon and NY). If you’d give your son’s stats, we might be able to more appropriately see what’s a fit for him.</p>
<p>U of Toledo gives VERY HIGH preference to in-state students. In fact, I believe they even said that they might not even accept any out of state students if their in state pool is competitive. (5 seats if you do the BA MD program, and I think 15 for the biomedical engineering one)</p>
<p>In short, most of the programs don’t set aside a specific number of seats for out of state students. They simply PREFER in state students. </p>
<p>I totally understand what you’re going through. I was you a few months ago. :)</p>
