For medical school admissions, there is not a major difference between the 2 schools. The UT brand will carry more weight nationally if you change majors or career paths, but UTD is solid school for getting into medical school.

To be blunt, maybe 10% of HS seniors truly know what they want to do for a career. Changing majors is common as in people working in a field not directly related to their major. I strongly encourage you to think more along the lines of majoring in STEM with an initial focus toward medicine. Bio-med is a great major. Medical school is only 1 possible choice on the menu.

Good luck.
