I think you need to check first if UT-Dallas has sent grads to top med schools in the recent past. If it has been able to do that previously and you’ll be getting a full ride from them, then forget going to private schools, even Ivies, unless they would offer you the same or almost the same package. Now, if UT-Dallas has a bad record of sending grads to top med schools, then it’s time to look into your other school options. Amongst your list, Yale is the obvious best – one of THE HYPSM schools. But if Rice or Duke would offer you money (scholarship), and it would come out substantially cheaper than Yale, then take either school. The bottom line here is to save as much money as you can because med schooling is hard, long and expensive.
