It sounds like you want to go to UT. There’s certainly nothing to be ashamed of on that front; it’s a great school. Med schools in TX mainly care about your GPA, MCAT scores, and interview results. Med schools don’t care too much what you major in (within reason; no folkloric dance). Research opportunities are more important for STEM students who are not planning to go on to a professional field like medicine or nursing. If you feel more home at UT and UT offers the major you want then go to UT. You may want to rethink EE, however, as prep for med school since that’s not a major known for inflated GPAs. Your GPA will matter a great deal when applying to med schools in TX.
