A&M or UTH San Antonio​

No real ties to any of the two locations. Getting a 8k scholarship at SA, none at A&M. Tuition on both is covered (I'll have to pay for the fees).

I also got accepted at Houston but can't think of a single advantage to go there. 90% will be rejecting.

I didn't have a choice because I only got into UTHSCSA, but if I could go back in time I'd have told myself not to go here. They were such a disaster before the pandemic and went nuts during the pandemic. Some people aren't bothered by it but if you have any kind of disability, need structure and consistency or think you might ever need help from admin (financially, advice, etc) go somewhere else. If you do end up going here please know that the dean of students (who seems charismatic), is a dick. Don't get on his bad side and don't trust his advice. Get advice from upper classmen on each module because every module is different.

are you talking about the dental school?
 
Don’t listen to the previous reply. SA is a wonderful school with great faculty and an absolutely amazing program (the best in Tx, in my opinion). The amount of hand skills you receive even in the first semester is incomparable to most schools. Graduates from this school have a leg up because they know how difficult and extensive the program is here.
 
Thank you for your advice. b/c of my desire to practice in Dallas, projected total debt (my situation is a little complex to explain but the debt difference is going to be large in favor of A&M), and having friends in Dallas, I've accepted my A&M offer and rejected the other two already. I also concluded from my forum search that all Texas programs are great and no one program is really better than the other.
