Which state to move to for the purpose of GETTING IN to medical school as "in state"? Arkansas?

I highly, highly, highly doubt that there is a significant number of recent college grads relocating to any state solely for the purpose of establishing residency for the purpose of medical school to have any “stats” about them.</p>

<p>^^^^^Interesting that this was mentioned. In son’s class there are a significant number (meaning he knows of at least 10 that were willing to admit to HIM) that they relocated to our state in order to become in-state since the % of in-state acceptance is so MUCH higher than OOS. The table posted shows our state’s (NC) strong preference for in-state. Some were also not the first time applying. Some applied more than 3 times. Moved here, got a job and applied, applied and applied. ECU only takes in-state, no OOS. UNC caps OOS and Duke does give preference to in-state and WF. UNC’s MPH is ranked high and that is also a draw, with a joint MD/MPH. That an in-state tuition is sooooooo low. UNC will grant in-state status after 1 year of OOS for tuition purposes. NC also supports a special scholarship paying for all tuition and fees + a stipend for NC residents for med school who will agree to remain in NC for 5 years and work. It does not have to be primary care nor in an underserved area, just work in NC.</p>

<p>Maybe I’m totally wrong.</p>

<p>I think OP has abandoned the thread she started, maybe because she didn’t like the advice being given. But an interesting discussion nonetheless.</p>
