The following tables present an overview of four categories of US medical schools:

I. First Table: includes allopathic medical schools that should be considered. These are listed in order by state, as in AAMC book, Medical School Admissions Requirements.

II. Second Table: includes allopathic state schools. Schools listed in this table admit less than 10-15% from out-of-state, often with strict limits on which non-residents are qualified (e.g. only minorities, regional preferences, only outstanding applicants, etc.). These schools are probably not worth considering unless you are a resident of that state.

III. Third Table: other allopathic schools serving special populations. These medical schools are particularly directed toward specific underrepresented minority students or toward high school students. The USUHS (Bethesda) entails an obligation of military service.

IV. Fourth Table: includes all osteopathic medical schools.
