But trust me when I say UTSW loves UT system grads, it came straight from the mouth of a member on the admissions committee whom I spoke to face to face. They know the curriculum, and they know how it’s taught, and they probably even have some influence on it.

<p>^^^ I don’t think your statement makes sense. Are you saying that UT affiliated medical schools give preference to kids who went to a UT school (UTA, UT-Austin, UT-Dallas). If that is the case, I am pretty sure that is not true. Now if you were saying that UTSW gives preference to Texas residents, then yes I agree with you. They may say they “love” UT system grads, but there is no data showing that they prefer UT system kids. Look at eadad’s post where he provides links and data that shows how much geographic diversity his son’s class at UTSW has. </p>

Actually I have residence in Texas and in South Carolina,
<p>I fully agree with the statement about utilizing Texas residency for Med school applications…SC only has two schools and neither is as highly rated as the top Texas schools. You can go to school anywhere and it won’t hurt you for admission to Texas schools as long as you do all the things necessary to be a competitive applicant for most schools.</p>
<p>This is the list of undergrad schools for the current group of M1s at UTSW; it’s pretty geographically diverse but remember that 90% of those on this list are Texas residents by law.</p>

^^^ There is no causation or correlation associated with being a Texas resident and attaining a high gpa. They are independent of each other.</p>
