MCAT and GPA figures are labeled median or mean when the school's own published class profile confirms them, and “unconfirmed” when it has not yet been checked — the school's page cites the source. In-state preference tags are NextGen MedPrep's rating, not school policy, unless marked “published policy”.
Residents vs out-of-state applicants in Pennsylvania
None of the 4 DO programs in Pennsylvania in our catalog is rated as strongly or moderately favoring residents. None of these programs has admissions figures we have confirmed on the school's own pages yet, so the table shows the in-state rating and verification status only. Each program's profile has more detail.
| Program | In-state preference | Data check |
|---|---|---|
| Philadelphia College of Osteopathic Medicine | None recorded | Not yet checked against the school's own page |
| Lake Erie College of Osteopathic Medicine | None recorded | Checked against the school's own page, August 15, 2026 |
| Duquesne University Nasuti COM | None recorded | Checked against the school's own page, August 15, 2026 |

The in-state preference column is NextGen MedPrep's rating from each school's matriculation pattern and admissions guidance, not a school policy, except where a row says “published policy”. A dash means the school has not published that figure in a form we could confirm. Sources for every confirmed figure are linked on the program's profile.
