Baylor University, TCU & SMU for Premed

Can folks please provide some perspective on the premed programs and typical medical college acceptance rates for Baylor University, SMU (Southern Methodist) and TCU (Texas Christian)? Thanks

Maybe you would get more responses if you post in the Texas forum or on one of the pre-med forums?

Best of luck—most of the Drs in Texas I know of went to UT or TAMU or other regional branch schools. More affordable, less overall debt and acceptance rates still solid. You most definitely do not need a private school $60K plus education to get into medical school.

Medical schools get applications from all over the state and country. There’s really no school they prefer over another unless the school is in Texas. What med schools are really going to be interested in is individual grades and MCAT scores. That’s going to be your ticket. One of the biggest considerations is cost. As long as you have the grades and MCAT scores, it won’t matter much which school you went to.
