Washington ties are effectively mandatory — the college states it ONLY admits applicants who have strong ties to Washington or are Washington residents, which is a harder gate than the usual in-state preference. Beyond that it wants demonstrated passion for serving rural, underserved, historically marginalised or vulnerable communities including Tribal Nations, and its supplemental essays ask directly about experience with rural or underserved communities and intent to practise in Washington. Founded to address physician shortage in rural eastern Washington.
Watch out: No Washington connection is disqualifying rather than merely disadvantageous here. Median MCAT around 506 means metrics are not the binding constraint — ties and mission fit are.
