Take a look at the last column in this table 5.
https://www.aamc.org/download/159330/data/table5-facts2010slmat3-web.pdf.pdf shows that 56.8% of applicants in Texas do not matriculate into any medical school, which means 43% join some medical school.
Compare this with Arkansas where only 42.7% do not matriculate, which means 58% get to join some medical school.
Clearly, Arkansas is favorable to Texas because you have more people matriculating into medical schools.
Now if only a fraction of Texas applicants fill AMCAS with many filling only TMDSAS, that would mean there are many more applicants in Texas than what is seen in Table 5 above. That should make Texas statistics look even worse, shouldn't it?
Suppose 50% of the students fill only TMDSAS and don't bother with AMCAS. That would mean instead of 43% getting to join a medical school, only half of that or about 21% succeed in matriculating into some medical school.
That should probably make Texas the worst state to reside in?
