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

Wow!!

@WayOutWestMom & @thumper1 - Thanks a lot for your help.

  1. Does this mean Non-Texas Med Schools have a ‘bias’ against Texas-Premed-undergrad applicants from Texas? It kinda makes sense because even if they admit the Texas applicant, they may not end up attending because of other low-fee offers from other Texas medical schools. Right??

  2. Actually based on your clarification above, in my case I will still be a CA Resident when I apply to medical schools out of Texas (even after I complete PreMed in Texas Tech). Does this mean I might NOT face the above ‘bias’ from Non-Texas Medical schools?

Regarding MCAT/GPA, I feel like I might have a better chance of getting a better score on MCAT/GPA at TTU because of the Honors College facilities which will not be available in a super competitive UCSD/UCD. Not sure if this is a fair assumption though.

Is it true that just having higher MCAT/GPA will boost my chance of getting in a CA medical school? I am thinking the Med schools first filter based on MCAT, then based on GPA, and so on… and the actual Undergrad School comes last as a tie-breaker?
