What kind of OOS students get admitted to a school with huge in-state bias?

Do you have to have significantly higher GPA/MCAT and much more impressive ECs than the school average?
 
And/or be a URM or apply to certain programs like rural health track or MPH that might have a different mission than the school itself
 
Have higher stats (generally means MCAT) than their averages, AND have ECs that reflect their mission.
