I'm sure this has been asked before, but I can't seem to find any posts on it.

Which state schools tend to accept more out of state residents? I'm looking for schools in the midwest/south. What about Texas? Thanks!
 
Texas state schools are required by law to matriculate 90% in-state students (I saw that on the TMDAS website somewhere).

Oregon Health & Science University is about 50/50, but that's the extent of my knowledge on state schools...
 
aside from Baylor and UTSW, the TX schools accept very few non-residents.

so i wouldn't apply through TMDSAS unless you have high #'s and want a shot at UTsw.

the two schools i know of, cincy and OSU, accept a fair # of out-of-staters; i think ohio st. is about 50/50 and will probably increase (in favor of more non-res) in the future.

UCLA actually does accept like 20% out-of-staters or so, but not a lot of people who are out of state actually matriculate.
 
Ohio State - 40% and rising, Umich 50%, MCO accepts quite a few, but not many matriculate, EVMS, MCV, NJMS
 
According to the stats sheet MCO gave us during my interview there, they accept 20% out of state per year. That works out to about 30 every year that matriculate.
 
Here is list for state schools has ~15% out-stater.

Alabama 88%
UCLA 79%
UCSF 74%
Hawaii 78% (wow, that would be great)
Kansas 86%
Maryland 82%
Michigan 55%
Michigan St. 82%
North Dakota 75%
Oregon 79%
Ohio St. 82%
Cincinnati 84%
Tennesse 73%
Vermont 33%
Utah 85%
Virginia 67%
East Virginia 75%
Baylor 77%

As for Texas schools, A&M is 96%, Texas Tech is 98%, Galveston is 97%, Houston is 99%, SA is 95%, Southwestern 90%.

Basically, if one cannot get into your in-state school, it is going to be difficult to get into any other schools as out-of-stater. Also, forget about California schools. If one can get into those schools, one can get into anywhere.
