Hello! So I’m entering this fall as a Biology major! It’s incredibly hard and they both have benefits and drawbacks, but I’m really just looking to see which should would give me the best chance at getting into Med/Dental school and what would offer me the best experience, so any advice or perspectives would be appreciated!! What would you guys choose?
University of Texas at Dallas-
-10 Minutes from Home/Could stay with parents
-Half Scholarship (comes out to 6K a year total)
-Accepted into Honors Program
-Wouldn’t have to live in a dorm
University of Texas at Austin
-More prestige/better alumni connection
-Undoubtedly more difficult to receive a high science GPA compared to UTD
-Higher costs (26k per year)
-Much more lively/fun city than Dallas
University of California, San Diego
-One of the best public universities in the country (#8!)
-INCREDIBLE Bio Program
-High, high competition for Pre-Med/Pre-Dent (I’ve heard it’s impossible to have above a 3.5 there)
-Tuition 40k per year (though money isn’t the most important factor)
-Right by the beach, much better weather
So, in your opinion, which would be best for getting into graduate school while also offering me the best experience?
