Thanks for the posts UcMichigan and UCLAri. That takes a huge load off of my shoulders, because my parents kept saying that because Orthopedic Surgery is so competitive, it’s basically a must to have any shot at those residencies to go to HMS-tier schools to get in. I think from what’s been said I’m leaning towards UT. It’s still that whole international prestige thing though lol. I don’t even know why I’m so hung up on prestige though. I think it’s because there’s a really good chance I’ll go into business, and especially get into international stuff, and I’m worried UT won’t have very much, while UCLA will help me out immensely on the international scale should I do business. So really, how well is UT known outside of the US?
