Curious as to what the thinking is in general about which schools have what kind of "feeling" about them.
I am a TX resident and am currently applying to 6 of our MD programs (excluding Baylor and Paul Foster @ El Paso). I hate having to do an AMCAS for just Baylor and maybe a few OOS schools, but that's what inspired this thread.
I guess I should start. This is all based on the very little I've seen on these schools, so caveat lector / please add your thoughts.

- UTMB, Galveston: more or less easy going; scheduling is love or hate.
- TAMU HSC, College Station: small class sizes appreciated; CS is a very love or hate sort of city (I'm the former, mostly). Pretty friendly atmosphere.
- Texas Tech, Lubbock: I have no clue.
- UT, San Antonio: Again, no clue. Have talked to two alumni who liked it.
- UTSW, Dallas: Like Baylor in terms of numbers and such, but more friendly.
- UT, Houston: No clue.
- Texas Tech / Paul Foster, El Paso: N/A (EY 2009 = first class)
- Baylor: closest thing to approaching a more gunner-based class in the state by virtue of its higher matriculant statistics. Solid academically, good name recognition (and, for those who care, enjoys a nice place on the USNews ranks).
