Michigan State, Central Mich, and Wayne are all HEAVILY in-state biased. MSU especially had a ridiculously high OOS tuition.

Imbalanced MCAT might hurt at high tier schools, as well as the avg MCAT score (yes, 32 is avg, based upon my MSAR, which is slightly out of date. The avg for the UC system is around 36.

OOS public schools tend to favor the home team, so you'd need to have MCAT >36 for them.
