Out of state applicants

Hi, are there any public schools that do not accept out of state applicants? I've heard that some won't even consider you if you're not instate. If there are, could you perhaps list some? I've searched for "out of state" on the PrePharm forums to no avail.

Thanks in advance!

It might be more fruitful to research the schools you're interested in. After all, there's a lot of variety even among public schools, and that kind of information is easy to find if you're looking for it.

I am feeling generous and bored, and I looked at 40 different CoP across the US, and all of them had "out of state tuition" or "not-applicable" if they were private (because private schools don't care if you're a resident or not).

40 is a pretty decent sample size, leading me to believe that no school will NOT accept someone from out of state, it'll just cost more.

Hello OP,

You can check this page on pharmcas.

Each school will tell you how many out of state applicants it accepted the previous year and other stats like expected GPA, total interviews, total acceptances, etc.

Best of luck!
