are the chances of getting into (public) medical schools better if claiming california or texas residency? i may already know the answer to this, but i would love to go to any school in california, but am not sure of my chances getting in at all, while i am sure i can at least get into ut-sa, ut-houston, or ut-mb.
also, does having a spouse at the graduate school increase chances of getting into the medical school?
For the purposes of admissions to state medical schools, it usually is advantageous for an applicant to claim residency in the same state. Data for some private schools, in fact, show that being in the same state as the private med school will increase one’s chances for admission as well.
