Definitely apply to out of state schools, espeically if: they are close to you or in your region (PA, IN, KY, IA, MI?), they are private, or if your undergrad sends people there every year or often enough. Also, it's money- they'll get more from you than from an in-stater. Private schools aren't bound by state residency, so it's all about you.
(I'll put in a personal plug for Maryland (
). I know that we take a good percentage of students from out of state, and depending on your credentials, they can provide decent money to offset the difference in tuition.)
I applied to Cincy b/c I thought it looked good on paper and the secondary app. was cheap! I ended up getting in, despite being from out of state, which I thought was cool b/c their instate percentage was >90%.
And one more thing..."KappaMD" made me think you already had a degree. Don't jinx yourself
Good luck!
