Good schools to apply to out of state for NY resident?

[Falconclaw]

Most medical schools in NY are extremely competitive (well, before some wise ass tells me that getting into med schools is competitive in general, I know, I'm just saying it's even more so in NY) and I was wondering what good schools are there that don't discriminate too much about out of state students. Thanks!

Before some wise ass tell you it is in general! LMAOOOO!

The schools in Philly and Boston are probably good since they are moderately close to NYC. Temple, Jefferson, Drexel, Tufts, BU.

Haha, I know what people on this forum can be like.

Roughly speaking, less OOS discrimination ~ higher mean GPA and MCAT... and/or high number of applicants.
For example, schools in DC look good in terms of OOS-friendliness, but they rank the highest in the number of applications received.

After all, getting into med school is competitive in general

If you are willing to travel farther, many schools in PA and VA are known to be OOS-friendly.
Drexel, VCU, Temple, EVMS.... and maybe U of Vermont?

Yeah, I don't care how far I have to travel. I have no particular attachment to the Northeast.

You have no idea until you go through as a Californian applicant...

I second everything said here. All of these schools are OOS friendly.

University of Vermont accepts 70% of their incoming class from OOS.

All Pennsylvania schools are very OOS-friendly (none are "state" schools)

Pennsylvania State University isn't a state school in Pennsylvania?

Nope. Pitt, Penn State, and Temple are state-related private schools.

Penn State is about 50% OOS, which is along the same lines as Temple and Jeff.

Not Drexel, it would seem:
We encourage applications from women, ethnic and racial minorities, first generation college attendees, Pennsylvania and New Jersey residents, LGBT individuals, veterans, rural, educationally disadvantaged, economically disadvantaged, and individuals who have prior careers outside of medicine.
