MO resident here. When I was deciding which state schools to apply to, the only ones the numbers suggested might be favorable toward out of staters were:

UT Southwestern (be forewarned, requires TMSDSAS or whatever the acronym is)
Ohio State
University of Virginia

Here are the USN numbers that go with those schools (I chose to pay most attention to percentage of interviewees that are eventually accepted, for what it’s worth):

UTSW: 572 applied, 85 interviewed, 76 were accepted, 35 enrolled
Ohio State: 3142 applied, 410 interviewed, 262 were accepted, 91 enrolled
UVA: 2157 applied, 392 interviewed, 252 were accepted, 62 enrolled

Compare that with other states that aren’t so friendly (just picked some random ones in addition to mine):

MO: 822 applied, 55 interviewed, 19 were accepted, 11 enrolled
KY: 1687 applied, 152 interviewed, 77 were accepted, 37 enrolled
OK: 1214 applied, 42 interviewed, 37 were accepted, 12 enrolled
MN: 3457 applied, 216 interviewed, 143 were accepted, 54 enrolled

And, well, you might start to see why many people stick with their state + privates!
