Hey guys, just wondering what guys thought are on the best out-of-state schools for Californians to apply to. Just to let you know my background, lets just say I have a 3.43 ogpa, and 3.48-3.5 BCPM GPA, 10,8,11 N on V,P,B of MCAT. I'm not a URM and I'm a graduate from a private university and not a UC school. Anyone with similar stats from Cali get in out-of-state? Any suggestions what schools to avoid too?

Thanks,

Here's a couple of suggestions:

MCP Hahnemann and New York Med.

I knew a classmate (I'm from Cali) that got in those schools with lesser stats than what you mentioned.

😎
 
In addition to those Popoy mentioned, consider EVMS and MCV/VCU.

I haven't any idea what their average stats are but do know that these schools take a fair bit of Californians.

I'll move this over to the Pre-Allopathic forum for you. 🙂

U of Pitt, Albany, GW, Albert Einstein, USUHS, NYMC, Chicago (Finch)...Try those...
 
Loyola, URochester, Jefferson, Penn State, Boston U, Tufts ... there are Californians everywhere. . .
 
Just about any private school accepts out of state kids, and every where I interviewed there were a ton of UC grads. With your scores, you are a viable candidate, just got to roll the dice in as many schools as you can. Try the Jesuit schools too (Georgetown, Loyola-Chicago, Creighton, St. Louis).
 
Chicago Med and MCW have high rates of CA residents too.
