<p>OP, our D is a TX resident who will be coming home to start med school in the fall. (She chose to attend a well-known OOS school for UG.) She interviewed at all of the TX med schools. Her observation? Although UTSW has several students who attended TX UGs, they have a lot of students, more than the other TX public med schools, who went OOS (most to highly-rated schools). Also, I would not encourage any premed student to graduate early unless they’ve already been accepted into a joint BS/MD program. I would also suggest you look closely at Wellesley’s average GPAs. They’re known to practice grade deflation and as you know, GPA is a very important part of your application. Like others, I would encourage you to take a second look at Dartmouth and Cornell. </p>
