Ties to VCOM's target region plus a service record. The college states it admits the greater portion of each class from applicants based in the Carolinas, then the southern Appalachian and Delta states and traditionally underserved regions, and close to half its students come from rural communities under 30,000 people. Notably, VCOM states it considers target-state applicants with a GPA above 3.7 alongside lower but acceptable MCAT scores, so geography and GPA can offset a softer MCAT here in a way that is unusual and explicit.

Watch out: No connection to a target state and no rural or underserved service is the main mismatch, since regional origin is an explicitly stated selection factor rather than an inferred preference.
