I had a very smart cousin go to UCLA. Top of her class in CA high school with 4.0 GPA… she said getting into medicine at UCLA is too competitive. She graduated with a ~3.3GPA

I’d pick UT because the cost of the medical schools is pretty low compared to other states. Plus, there’s like 10 medical schools (like 8 being public… so if you’re a resident, that’ll really help). I’m pretty sure getting a higher GPA at UT isn’t as tough as in UCLA. UCLA has tons of over achievers.
