Studying medicine in Florida
About Florida: Pop. ~22.6M; Miami, Orlando, Tampa, and Jacksonville each host major medical training centers. One of the most competitive in-state applicant pools due to Florida's large population and the University of Florida, USF, and FIU programs.
In-state preference: Florida's public schools (UF, USF, UCF, FIU, FAU) strongly favor Florida residents; in-state seats typically 80–95% of intake. Nova Southeastern (DO) admits broadly from Florida and the Southeast. Out-of-state applicants to Florida public programs face very limited availability.

MCAT and GPA figures are labeled median or mean when the school's own published class profile confirms them, and “unconfirmed” when it has not yet been checked — the school's page cites the source. In-state preference tags are NextGen MedPrep's rating, not school policy, unless marked “published policy”.

The in-state preference column is NextGen MedPrep's rating from each school's matriculation pattern and admissions guidance, not a school policy, except where a row says “published policy”. A dash means the school has not published that figure in a form we could confirm. Sources for every confirmed figure are linked on the program's profile.
