Most medical school applicants from the very top undergraduates schools get into ONE and only ONE
medical school. A good number get into zero medical programs two years in a row, and give up and go to get a masters in public health.

Often med school requires that you work one to two years after your undergraduate education or every summer
in a clinical setting in order to learn more about medicine. So getting in under an accelerated plan, is highly competitive.

Note that Baylor Medical school is in Houston and not Waco Texas, where undergrad is located.
Baylor is a private Christian school, that will ask you to sign a promise on behavior.

Baylor Medical school is combined with MD Anderson in Houston in a big medical complex.

I would post this also on the U of California page, asking about the three UC,s and premed. options and acceptance rates.

Accelerated programs are probably very competitive at Rutgers I would guess. Rutgers is a very large public school in Central NJ with a lot of diversity, its on a campus divided up by rivers in a few towns, New Brunswick and Piscataway NJ.

Rutgers is older (founded in 1700s) and highly ranked university in some of the sciences and engineering.

I would post your question about Rutgers accelerated medical program on the Rutgers page too.

There may be some advantages to Riverside, or Merced over Santa Cruz because the first two offer a medical school and Santa Cruz does not.
