OK - so if you are looking to save, why apply to TCU and Baylor? SMU has the Presidential…you won’t get it but it has it so it’s worth the hail mary.
If saving money really matters, your best bet may be Alabama. You’d be low 20s all in with $28K auto merit. So I think cheaper than UTD.
It’s a flagship - so you’d have more life - and they have the McCullough Pre Medical Scholars - which might interest you.
On the other hand, UTD apparently has a great name for neuroscience.
You have options with your list - I’ll say that. Whether A&M comes through and even if it does, it doesn’t mean it’s right for you - it’s really big.
That’s the issue with having choices - you have to make one ![]()
And you will have that situation.
Best of luck.
