@polandamber: if you want to be a resident, you can’t be in Texas for educational purposes. You can’t “easily switch” state residency otherwise everyone would do it, hopping from state to state. In Texas, it means being gainfully employed for 12 months.
@MYOS1634 I’m speaking from person references, people who have taken a gap year between undergrad and med school, worked a year and also gained in state residency. Many do not go straight through to medical school. But anyway that decision is a long way away for OP. just letting them know their options
Seton may be accurate IDK…in the grand ole state of Texas 60% of all accepted applicants tomedical schools have to be students from the Texas universities and it is not uncommon to see schools in the upper 80’s low 90’s with 3.5-3.7gpa and slightly above average MCAT.
We know quite a few kids at UTSW who went to UT Arlington, Trinity, and Baylor with that gpa and average slightly above average MCAT all are 2nd-4th years now.
Maybe Seton Hall’s data is unique would have to look into it. Our experience in other states without magic Texas laws are 40-60% acceptance rates.
It looks they do screen, but at least you know what you have to do to more than likely get in. They have a template its better than other schools.
