How hard is it to get into Baylor Dallas vs. Baylor Houston? Are both university programs and FMG friendly?

Neither BCM (Houston) nor BUMC (Dallas) are affiliated with Baylor University (Waco).
BCM is an 'academic' program, although not affiliated with a university (yet... *cough*Rice*cough*); there are more community-based experiences in St Luke's hospital. BUMC is a 'community' program that still has some substantial research opportunities, and is one of the largest single-entity freestanding medical complexes in the US.
BUMC is a pretty cush program. BCM is not.
BCM's program is very large (~150 interns I think). BUMC's is very small (~15 interns I think).
Nationally, fellowship- and prestige-wise, BCM is better-known and will expose you to better opportunities. That said, BUMC is probably one of the more academic private centers, and will in all likelihood give you a decent shot at most competitive fellowships (they have their own cards, GI, renal [soon], and heme/onc fellowships).
BCM is in Houston. BUMC is in Dallas. I guess that's a matter of taste (Although the right choice should be obvious [Houston]).
