Hey everyone! I was wondering if anyone had some advice for me since I’m trying to decide on a college and I’m SUPER confused. I plan to go to medical school one day, so I would love some insight on which college could help me most on this journey. And I know this is super subjective based on the person and situation, but I was hoping for some general info. Basically, I’m choosing between Texas Tech, Trinity University (San Antonio), Texas A&M, or UT Dallas. I’m getting pretty good scholarships at all of the universities, but I’m in honor’s college at only Tech since I didn’t apply to the honor’s programs at the other three (though I may for Trinity just to increase my options). Which college has the most resources for medical volunteer work/shadowing/research? Which university has the most resources for preparing for the MCAT (like specific preparation/tutoring courses or set study groups)? Does anyone have personal experience/know anyone who has gone through the process with these universities? Any help is greatly appreciated since I need to make my decision pretty quick!! Thank you:))
While I can’t tell you which school is best for premed, I do know that Texas A&M is one of 30 schools that produce the most medical school applicants (roughly 400 a year). For you, that would mean Texas A&M would have the most competition with students trying to get into med school.
The fact is, the higher your GPA, the greater chance you have of getting into medical school. Therefore, my best advice to you would be to pick a school where you think you can succeed, where professors won’t be trying to weed students out, and where students won’t be cut-throat with one another. Only you can make that decision.
I really like your point about the GPA, since it boils down to the applicant as an individual. Thanks for the info on Texas A&M too! That was the one I was most unsure about anyway… 
Texas Tech does have a program where you could be automatically admitted to med school before you even graduate. My older brother is currently enrolled there and loves it.
