North Dakota ties and rural intent. The school receives roughly 1,800 applications for 78 seats, interviews only 200-240, and most interview spots go to applicants with North Dakota residency ties — so geography is close to a gate. Its INMED programme is ranked first nationally for graduating American Indian and Alaska Native physicians and has trained roughly 20% of all American Indian physicians in the US; INMED applicants are enrolled members of federally recognised tribes and follow the same admissions process as everyone else.

Watch out: No North Dakota connection is the dominant barrier, given how few interviews go to applicants without one.
