I don’t see any benefit to UT-Dallas since the Texas med schools are so Texas resident biased…even the privates are.
UA or any other Alabama public that will give big merit for undergrad is a good idea for an OOS Premed, particularly a female one and one from Calif.
Here’s why…
AL has two public med schools (UAB and University of South Alabama) that are “male heavy” and they do accept OOS students. USA med school (in lovely Mobile, AL) really tries to accept qualified females because they are too male-heavy …and if they’re OOS with strong stats, they’ll give them merit to cover the OOS med school costs.
