Besides your state schools that have a mission that matches your interests, consider:

MSU,
VirginiaCommonwealth, EVMS, Drexel, NYMC, Tulane, UIllinois, Rush, GWU, Temple, Buffalo, Loyola, Loma Linda,
MCW, UVermont, Jefferson, SUNY Upstate, UCentral Florida, Albany, Creighton, Wayne, Rosalind Franklin, Georgetown.

Consider geography, curriculum, cost, weather, etc. An MSAR will give you the abundant information to help you decide if a given school is right for you.
