How selection works

Arkansas residents get priority (per state law). Up to 50 out-of-state residents may be accepted, with preference for applicants with 'strong ties' to Arkansas (e.g., attended college in Arkansas) or residing in border states (LA, MS, MO, OK, TN, TX). Border-state admits pay in-state tuition but need MCAT 505+ (non-resident minimum).
