Possibility to move back home if I get Willowbrook (I've also heard it's one of the easier clinical sites in terms of grading)
Have worked with a research lab there and have connections
Very familiar with the area (alma mater)
Cons
Residency programs are mostly primary care based, which I am not interested in at the moment
TTUHSC Lubbock
Pros
Wide range of home residency programs
Had a better interview day experience
Cons
Pretty far from home. Unfamiliar with area and no connections
Having to relocate for clinicals (I'd prefer staying in Lubbock)
Summary: TAMU has a better location and is close to support system (family + other people). TTUHSC Lubbock has a wide range of residency programs, while TAMU is pretty limited. Match lists, however, don't look that different. I'm not sure if there are other differences that can help me decide. I want to go to the school that gives me better chances of matching my desired specialty 4 years from now regardless of how competitive it is.
