I go to school in Ohio and we have our fair share of medical schools, so it would be nice to know if I should focus my efforts or here or look elsewhere.

I applied to all three schools in the state of Louisiana but didn't fill out the secondary application to Tulane. I was accepted to both LSU campuses and chose LSU-Shreveport. Most state schools will NOT take out of state students (unless of course they are big name schools) because the state funds the education of these students in part. If mostly out of state residents were admitted to a state school, there would be hell to pay! As others have said, your best bet is to apply in state unless you are a stellar applicant with loads of research or willing to pay the big bucks for a private school education.
