Just saying, no bets without an official MCAT result. Obviously start with in-state programs, especially where you have made connections with current students and admissions recruiters.

As for personal reasons, without networking you may find that any connection you claim will have varying reception. You can also see if any of your in-state schools can help you set up clerkships at those other academic medical centers.
