I know. Another one. Which out of these Texas colleges would be best for pre-med?

As the parent of a kid with similar stats, who was one of the miraculous few accepted at TAMU after wholistic review (she is currently finishing her 1st semester at TAMU with some great results I might add) Let me say, you may or may not get in, who knows! I think you can probably count UT-A out unless there is some mitigating factors you haven’t mentioned. Be advised that if you do get accepted at TAMU…everything, and I do mean everything, is a competition/application/interview at TAMU. Wanna join a club? Fill out an application, write an essay and be interviewed and still chances are you won’t get in, even if you are qualified and socially interesting and know somebody already in the club to vouch for you. Wanna get a seat in a specific class, yeah good luck, so do 40k other students. I mean, even getting a spot in a dorm is competitive. Great school and my kid likes it well enough, it will definitely be a good place to get a feel for life in the real world (or cut throat world of medicine), it is a great place to learn that there are probably 20-30k more people who are smarter, more qualified, better connected than you (I mean the ubiquitous you, not you specifically!).

If I were looking to get into med school, I’d focus on schools like Texas Tech, UTSA (which has some great medical related undergrad options too should you change your mind about med school), even UT-D or UNT, SFA where you can shine on a smaller stage. I rarely agree with @mom2collegekids but she is not wrong in her advice here, focus on schools other than UT-A and TAMU if your true goal is med school.
