<p>As a disclaimer, I am not Rice/Baylor, but here’s what I think of off the top of my head:</p>
<p>Pros:
- RESOURCES. There are so many opportunities in so many different fields in the Texas Medical Center (the largest in the world, if you didn’t know - no, seriously). MD Anderson in particular is known world-wide as an excellent cancer research center.
- Tuition at Baylor is very (well, relatively) low if you’re from Texas, so a guaranteed admission here may mean a lot</p>
<p>Cons:
- Hard. Hard to get in and, for some, difficult to stay in - you have to keep a 3.5 GPA, and I know a girl who failed out.
- There are better med schools out there than Baylor. Luckily, you can back out if you get into one of them, I guess. I know (and probably everyone on here knows) a Rice/Baylor guy who graduated in 3 years and then got into Harvard med, so…</p>
