You should receive multiple interviews from your Texas schools so apply to all of them. Apply to any OOS private schools that you would attend instead of your Texas schools.

Princeton doesn’t have a medical school.

Among the Ivies, Harvard, Brown, Yale, Penn, Yale and Dartmouth all have medical schools.
