I actually went through the medical school application process before applying to Law School, and with the exception of a few international schools, most medical schools prefer in state students. There are some states that will not consider Canadian students at all.
Also the MCAT doesn't go nearly as far in balancing out a bad GPA as the LSAT does. I had a 98ish percentile on both the LSAT and the MCAT. I struggled to get acceptance anywhere in medical school (I applied all over North America). Meanwhile, law schools were falling over themselves to get me to go.
