Yes, you will be a CA resident…assuming your parents still reside in CA.
It makes every bit of sense to go to TTU with a large scholarship. Keeping your undergrad debt to a bare minimum is very important if medical school is on your future. Paying for medical school is usually loans,loans and a more loans.
Re: applying to medical school…you will likely need to cast a wider net than just applying in CA and TX. And keep in mind, you might change your mind about becoming a doctor along the way…so make sure you have a Plan B.
I know medical school graduates who didn’t apply to any medical schools in their home states. I know one who actually relocated after undergrad to a new state, took two gap years, established residency in THAT state, and was accepted as an instate applicant there.
You need to keep a VERY open mind about future medical school. You don’t have a GPA or sGPA or an MCAT score at this point.
And adding…it doesn’t matter where other TTU grads got accepted to medical school. You will be applying four years from now…and past acceptances are not any sort of guarantee of future ones.
