Ivy/Top 20 vs State Flagship Honors Program

I’m a Yale student–I’d speculate you’re better off doing pre-med at the state flagship than at Yale. Pre-med is a ton of work no matter where you do it, but the big thing about the top schools is that your competition (and therefore the curve that your classes are graded on) is absolutely brutal. I’m not totally familiar with how the UT-Dallas honors program works, but that name would give you prestige in applying to the in-state med schools, and the competition for grades in the honors program would certainly be less fierce.
