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”.
Residents vs out-of-state applicants in Mississippi
University of Mississippi School of Medicine, the one MD program in Mississippi in our catalog, is rated as giving strong preference to Mississippi residents. The table shows its admissions figures only where they were confirmed on the school's own published pages; the rest are left blank rather than estimated, and any unconfirmed figure on the card above is labeled as such.
| Program | In-state preference | In-state share of class | MCAT | GPA | Class size | Data check |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|

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.
