I’m a high school senior and deciding between UT Austin and UT Dallas as a Biochemistry major on a pre-med track. I’ve been accepted into both schools through automatic admission and have been awarded a full tuition paid for UT Dallas plus $1000 every year to pay for Room and Board and books. I am still waiting on my scholarship info for UT Austin though I know it won’t be much as well as my natural sciences honors college result. I know UT Austin will cost me a lot more and the debt will add up as I intend to go to med school. But I’ve always wanted to go to UTA and I was not impressed by the campus at UTD or the fact that it appears to be a commuter school. But will the resources of UT Austin outweigh the cons or should I go to UT Dallas? And which school will better prepare me for the MCAT and get me into a good medical school?
