Yes they are. On AACOMAS, you can select whichever locations you prefer. Sometimes you select different locations on the secondary application.Thanks for your reply!
I noticed PCOM, VCOM and LECOM all have multiple campuses. Are applicants allowed to apply to multiple locations under the same program?
You are competitive for all DO schools with your stats. I suggest these schools:
Western
Touro-CA
TUNCOM
AZCOM
CUSOM
VCOM (all 4 schools)
MU-COM
UIWSOM
KCU-COM
ATSU-KCOM
DMU-COM
ACOM
ARCOM
Some, since half their students are from instate.Do DO schools like Nova and PCOM have a regional bias?

Take a good look at the AACOMAS CIB (Student Guide to Osteopathic Medical Colleges - Choose DO) and look at the statistics on in-state/out-of-state first-year enrollment. The General Admissions Requirements (page 15 in the version I have) gives the aggregate MCAT and GPA for matriculants in a given cycle. Metrics-wise you're in a good spot. Now connect with the schools you really want to attend and see if there's anyone like you that they have admitted recently to whom you can talk.
If there is no difference between in-state and out-of-state tuition, chances are there is no in-state preference.Thanks for the great reply! I checked out that resource, it has lots of great information. As far as the regional bias; I recently attended a schools virtual tour/presentation and the concept of regional bias came up. It’s important to note that this school has a >80% instate matriculation rate; the representative stated that they have no regional bias and that the numbers of instate matriculants is due to the majority of applicants being from their state. Is this something that schools (aside from Texas) feel inclined to say even though this may not be the case?
