Overview

Studying medicine and dentistry in Texas

About Texas: Pop. ~30.5M; Houston (Texas Medical Center — the world's largest medical complex), Dallas, San Antonio, and Austin each have major medical ecosystems.

In-state preference: Texas public schools (UT Southwestern, UTHSC Houston, UTMB, UT Austin Dell, Texas Tech, TTUHSC El Paso, Texas A&M, UT Rio Grande Valley) very strongly favor Texas residents; public MD programs allocate 90–95%+ seats to in-state applicants. Baylor College of Medicine (private) admits nationally but still skews toward Texas applicants in practice.
