<p>I didn’t mean to be offensive at all, and I apologize if it came out that way. I am applying to one safety school- UT, which I am guaranteed acceptance into for being in the top 10 percent at a TX highschool. However I would rather attend a school farther away from home, so I was wondering which of these colleges would be my best bets.
I also realized that these colleges are also very competitive and by no means low tier. I simply meant that they are lower in prestige compared to the commonly mentioned pre med schools like UCLA.
As for my stats and budget, let’s just assume for the sake of argument that I can get in wherever I wanted and afford any price (I wish, haha). I just want to know which schools would be the best in that category.
Thanks to you all and sorry again that my question was badly phrased.</p>
