Are you a resident of CA? Or a different state?

 

[anonymoose1640]

UCLA
UCSD
UCI
UCD
Boston
USC
Emory
Brown - prefer their own undergrads
U of Arizona
U of South Caro - they don't take many OOS apps each year
Med U of South Caro - very few OOS apps each year
Colorado
Stony Brook - take few OOS apps each year
Penn State
George Washington - they get >11,000 apps per year
South Carolina SOM - is this Greenville? the OOS tuition is insanely high
Loma Linda - make sure you're okay with their strict religious standards before applying
Hawaii - unless you're from HI or you have strong ties to the area delete them
Sanford - they take few OOS students per year, not worth your money
UMASS - hardly any OOS students are accepted
UCR - unless you're from IE they aren't worth your time
Tulane
Oklahoma -take hardly any OOS people each year
NY MC
Drexel
Indiana

Consider adding:
Jefferson
Temple
Creighton
SLU
Rush (if you have the service hours)
Loyola
Wake Forest
Albany
Tufts (maybe)
Rosalind Franklin
EVMS
VCU
Quinnipiac
MCW
OUWB

This is assuming your state of residence is CA.

Here is a more realistic list:

U VM
USF Morsani (maybe)
Duke (maybe)
Case (maybe)
Mayo (maybe)
Miami
St. Louis
Albany
Albert Einstein
Rochester
Rush (note: very service/experience oriented with a 150hr service requirement. Avg student has 800 hours of community service, and >1800 hours of health care exposure.)
Rosy Franklin
BU
MCW
Hofstra
NYMC
VCU
EVMS
Wake Forest
Jefferson
Temple
Drexel
Creighton
George Washington
Emory
USC/Keck
Tulane
Dartmouth
Loyola
Any new MD school. Skip Central MI and the three new FL schools. I can't recommend CNU.
UCI
UCD
UCR IF you're from the Inland Empire
Uniformed Services University/Hebert (just be aware of the military service commitment)
Any DO program, starting with Western (both) and Touro-CA

U of Arizona, NYMC, Oklahoma, and South Carolina accept virtually no OOS students.

U of Arizona, NYMC, Oklahoma, and South Carolina accept virtually no OOS students.

NYMC matriculated 110/202 kids from OOS last year. They are worth applying to. U of Arizona matriculated ~27% OOS last year, and the majority of their OOS matriculants tend to be from CA. They may also be worth OPs time.

This looks like a pretty solid list to use! Thanks a lot. Do you know anything about UVA by any chance?

Thanks for the information! I know California is pretty difficult and most likely I have to move out of state so whatever makes my chances higher of getting into medical school is okay with me!

One of the top medical schools, not merely top state schools. I have a friend on Faculty there, so I have a right to shill.

When you see "more realistic", is it because of the MCAT, GPA, or EC's?
