For Pre-Med, UF and UT-Austin are close to identical (in terms of the number of medical school applicants they generate each year). .

1. For UF: https://ir.aa.ufl.edu/uffacts/degrees-grades/

2. Both about the same.

3. Austin is the state capital while UF is a college town. Austin has a population of 950K vs Gainesville 133K. With that being said, both Austin and Gainesville offer plenty for pre-meds. UF is the home of UF Health, and UF offers plenty of undergraduate research opportunities, and ECs (related to health), etc. Most "pre-meds" tend to stay in town and take advantage of UT-Austin's or UF's associated hospitals and/or research centers. Both schools are also well recruited, so internships are available across the country, they are not limited to Austin or Gainesville.
