Might want to take a look at MSUCOM out of state tuition. Unless someone in your family is independently wealth you might want to apply elsewhere.

MSUCOM, OH-HCOM and Rowan take 90% of their class from their own state residents so unless you have some strong connection to Michigan, Ohio or New Jersey you should apply to other schools. Instead add another 5 or 6 schools where the MCAT median is 27 or less.

Thanks Faha, that is really useful info to know. Do you have any suggestions as to which schools in particular? Are there any specific schools that highly value research (given I have done a lot in that category?)
