<p>@ajaysingh what State are you from?</p>
<p>If from Texas, I would advice your son to go to Rice since many go from there to State med schools. It is not as easy for someone from another state to give up a guaranteed medical seat. </p>

<p>@texaspg: I checked with UTB and they said their BSMD program is open to OOS students. Are there other UT programs that are available to OOS students? Thank you!</p>
<p>Are you saying UTMB?</p>
<p>Which of their programs is open to OOS?</p>
<p>UT Brownsville’s A PRIME.</p>
<p>A-PRIME is a conditional medical school admission with a shortened time frame. Those are usually much harder.</p>
<p>I don’t see a Texas residence requirement listed.</p>
<p>I have been a passive CC follower. I just finally came out of my cocoon this evening. Before I change my mind I wanted to provide my thoughts about my college application process. </p>
<p>First of all I want to thank CC and specifically the active members of the “Official thread for 2014 bs/md applicants and bs/md interview notification for class of 2014”. You helped me navigate this bumpy roller coaster and highly emotional journey successfully - I was able to calm my nerves, sleep well in the nights and more importantly finish the senior year pretty strongly.</p>
<p>Looking back over my own journey and the various posts in CC - the pool of bs/md applicants is very strong in all ( GPA / Standardized test scores/ec’s/ research & other required credentials) respects. So as many of you have suggested the ways to differentiate one self are: through essays, depth and leadership positions in your ec’s and be confident, passionate in your interviews ( be balanced and do not go overboard). Research, shadowing - with privacy issues not sure how effective is this exercise and lack of universal access to labs ( need contacts, commuting considerations, school schedule) - weights attached to these components of the application, in my opinion are pretty subjective across the various programs and therefore, one needs to emphasize them accordingly (if one can decipher what the program is looking for!),</p>
<p>Sitting now and reflecting back on the journey - it seems i got my fair share - got into few mid tier programs. I believe I was authentic in the subjective areas - essays, ec’s, interviews - and these were "second"ed in my recommendations.</p>
<p>Has anyone here applied to MCPHS BS/MD with TCMC college. If some one can share some knowledge would be great as my daughter is interested in program.</p>
