Pretty much all the DO schools accept OOSers...except for the few state supported ones...MSU..OSU..OU I believe. Good Luck I hope you get in this year.

Hi everyone, as for me I should have done more research as to which schools give scholarships to URM. However, I already submitted my AMCAS so it's in stone... I think. Anyway, here's my list of 26 schools:

• Brown University
• Case Western Reserve University
• Cleveland Clinic Medical School
• Creighton University
• Dartmouth College
• Johns Hopkins University
• Loma Linda University
• Loyola University Chicago
• Mayo Medical School
• Medical College of Wisconsin
• Oregon Health & Science University
• Rosalind Franklin University
• Stanford University
• University of California, Davis*+
• University of California, Irvine*
• University of California, Los Angeles*
• University of California, San Diego*
• University of California, San Francisco*
• University of Kansas
• University of Minnesota, Twin Cities+
• University of Rochester
• University of Southern California
• University of Washington
• University of Wisconsin+
• Virginia Commonwealth University
• Wake Forest University
• Washington University in St. Louis

*Denotes a state school
+Denotes school that works with Hmong communities

Because I have average stats, I decided to just apply to mid-tier and safety schools. Doesn't really matter where I go, just the financial aid package I receive -- basically.

From my experience ( I am not a URM, but some of my present classmates are) you should apply where you want to go, you might be competitive in other ways, stats are not everything. I know someone with a 24 in our class, and they come from a family of 6, and he practically raised himself. He got a scholarship and is in a good MD progra,. Dont sell yourself short! The med school process is not designed for URM's, in my opinion, so if you are a urm and you think you are not competitive, that does not mean you wont be a great md student/

You can see my list from my MdApps profile. I pretty much stayed primarily in Ohio since it's home but did want to check out the HBCUs and some PA and IL schools. I am really a city woman and I wanted to apply to my state schools.





My list:

• Case Western Reserve- alum
• Ohio State University
• Wright State- love this medical school
• North Eastern Ohio University College of Medicine
• University of Toledo- love this medical school
• University of Cincinnati -liked this school and the student body
• Cleveland Clinic (probably going to withdraw)
• University of Pennsylvania
• University of Pittsburgh - loved this medical school
• Howard - loved this school
• Meharry - no news; no interview
• Johns Hopkins University - one of my dream schools; loved Baltimore
• Harvard University - loved Cambridge and the student body
• University of Chicago
• Washington University (St. Louis) - outstanding facilities; loved this place
