@ucbalumnus:

While one would expect UT Austin and Texas A&M to retain some of the top students (that you appear to want to see at the school you attend) who did not get into, could not afford, or simply preferred not to go to more selective schools, you may want to check whether UT Dallas is similarly successful in this respect.



Isn’t that why there’s the honor’s college – to be grouped with such students? The average SAT score (CR+M) is 1440 for 2011 for honors students, if that means anything.

@RML:



I think you need to check first if UT-Dallas has sent grads to top med schools in the recent past

according to this link, they did seem to have students accepted to Brown, Columbia, Duke, Emory, Vanderbilt, and Yale for medical/dental school recently (to name a few).
And I got a full-ride to UT Dallas, so it’s clearly my financial safety.
