Florida State's average is only about a 26. Granted, it's only their 3rd year so I'm sure it will rise in time. They only take FL residents.

michigan state's avg is around 27.5

Perhaps it would be best to include schools that take a substantial percentage of out of state applicants. We could list of ton of schools in the 27-28 range not considering residency status.

Disenchanted are you a Texas resident? If so you got nothing to worry about. Your odds of being accepted are excellent.

If you're out of state applying to Vermont, you need to be strong. They have an objective to educate people that want to work in and stay in Vermont, rural medicine. So, being from there makes getting in easier. But there numbers aren't that low. There are other state schools that have lower numbers like 8's for MCAT values. Vermont is a good school.

i agree that vermont is a good school. it is true you may have to have higher than their averages to get in if you are out of state, but at least you can apply there as an out of stater and have a shot at acceptance. most other state schools with low averages are not open to out of state applicants.

why cant every state help out their residents like this?????? i hate ny! i think that is so unfair, since there are many states that actually will give preference to residents instead of just "saying" they do... grrr

Stony's average MCAT is 32? Damn, that's not bad.

Drexel and Finch both have gpa's in the 3.45 range last time I checked. That was when I was applying...(but I have the MSAR from 2 years ago so things could have changed).
