Hello!

I'm working on my match list and was wondering if students at these schools could DM me or answer the questions in the post about the following schools?

- Texas A&M
-TTUHSC Lubbock
-TTU El Paso
- Dell
- Baylor
- UTMB
- McGovern
- UTSA
- University of Houston

Questions:
- How do students feel about the pre-clerkship curriculum? Do people seem to be very stressed or is the vibe more relaxed? Also for schools like McGovern or Long, does the grading make it more competitive or stressful?

- How is living in the city? My partner would be joining me after they are done with graduate work sometime during my 3rd year. They'd be moving from the LA area and are worried about not fitting in/finding things to do in the cities above.

- Do you feel like your courses have prepared you well for Step 1 or do most students do the bulk of their studying using 3rd party resources?

- Are rotation sites pretty accessible or are they a pain to get?

-How approachable are faculty and the overall administration to student feedback?

If there are any other things you'd like to add, I appreciate it. Also if there is another place to ask these questions, please let me know. Thank you in advance!

It might be worth looking on those specific school threads for med students that have made themselves available. They may not check here often.
