Of that list above (which is not all inclusive from the USNews research ranking), there are some OOS publics listed. I’m guessing that a number of them don’t accept many OOS students and could be a waste of time applying.

My son will likely be in the same boat this summer coming up with a SOM list. He has a 3.9 cum GPA (a couple of A-'s), a 4.0 BCMP GPA, and we’re expecting that his MCAT will be in the 30-34 range…based on practice tests and his ACT (which supposedly is some kind of indicator :shrugs: ).

If he scores in the 30-31 range, we’re guessing that his list might be different than if he scores in the 33-34 range.

We only have 2 instate SOMs, which he’ll definitely apply to, but after that…we’re not sure which OOS publics might accept an OOS student.
