City Schools.

I'm craving the city life and all the opportunity that comes with it. People, skyscrapers, lights... Manhattan, Chicago, etc.

That said, I am a Michigan boy. What D.O. schools in these cities are realistic for OOS applicants, both financially and preferentially?

Touro-NY (Harlem), Western-Pomona (about thirty minutes away from downtown LA), Touro-CA (about 45 mins away from San Francisco), KCUMB (15 mins from downtown Kansas City), Nova (in Ft. Lauderdale, not far from Miami), and CCOM (close to Chicago). Those are the ones off the top of my head that don't show any negative OOS bias. PCOM (Philadelphia) has been debated about whether they have an OOS bias or if they are just heavily applied to by PA residents.

Rocky Vista University in Colorado is about 20 minutes from downtown Denver, depending on if you consider that a "big city". If so, from what I've heard, lots of students commute from Denver proper out to school without a problem.

Touro-NY is your best bet, no in-state bias at all and cities don't get much bigger than NYC. I think CCOM will have you doing rotations in Chicago proper, but the school is in the suburbs.

This is spot on for sure.
PCOM- i would say they prefer regional students.

I would also add NYCOM to this list possibly. If you don't mind taking like a 40 minute train ride, you can get to NYC via LIRR (train). I do know of a few NJ residents who got into NYCOM so I'm not sure if it is OOS bias

I remember NYCOM being very OOS unfriendly. maybe things have changed or maybe I'm totally wrong but I kept it off my application list because of that.
