How many Texas Tech TTU pre-med students go to CA med schools?

@Badhum
Are you a TX resident? Or a CA resident?

CA residents are unlikely to matriculate instate for med school regardless of where they attend undergrad.

CA is the largest single exporter of med school applicants in the country.

See: https://www.aamc.org/media/6016/download?attachment

15% of CA resident med school applicants matriculated instate while 20% matriculated at OOS med schools. The rest did not receive an acceptance to any med school.

Most CA med schools do not offer a significant admission boost for in-state. (UCR is the exception. Are you from the Inland Empire by any chance?) Plus several (UCLA, UCSF, Stanford, UCSD, USC) are all highly ranked and therefore extremely competitive for admission. (UCLA receives more applications per seat each than just about any other med school the US.) Loma Linda is mission driven and only accepts student who are committed to their vision of service.

CA med schools have among the highest admission stats (GPA, MCAT) in the country–so getting a CA med school acceptance is going to be tough no matter where you attend undergrad whether it’s instate or OOS.

CA DO programs have admission stats (GPA, MCAT)that are the same or higher than MD programs elsewhere in the country
