Those Texas schools take very few OOS residents. I assume you attended there for undergrad so that is why you are considering applying there. If not, do not apply there. I do not know if attending a Texas school gives you a leg-up at other campuses, you may want to double-check individual schools’ policies.

correct, I currently attend TX undergrad. i've heard mixed things about whether that gives any advantage when applying, so i'm crossing my fingers for now.

@Goro @Faha @Mr.Smile12
would greatly appreciate yalls wisdom 🙂

Are you a Texas resident, yes or no?

 

[Goro]

You should definitely have Baylor and UT Southwestern on your list

You appear to have no nonclinical volunteering. Everything you've done is centered around EMT. Get in some service to others less fortunate than yourself (and outside of a classroom).

As to schools, once you're ready, aim high, no matter what state you're from.

I suggest:
NYU
Columbia
JHU
U Penn
WashU
Northwestern
Vanderbilt
Harvard
Yale
Cornell
U Chicago
Mayo
Case
Stanford
Duke
Sinai
U VA
BU
Baylor
Pitt
ALL UCs, but UCR only IF you’re from the Inland Empire
UTSW
USC/Keck
U MI
Rochester
Hofstra
Ohio State
U Cincy
Dartmouth
Western MI
USF Morsani
SUNY-SB
Brown
U MA
U IA
Albert Einstein
Emory
Tufts
NYU-LI
Jefferson
Miami
SLU
U WI
U CO
U VM

We're you only a Texas resident while a student at your college? Where in California did you spend most of your childhood?

You have a lot of experience with your EMT work. If you were to shadow or get more insight, I would go away from the hustle and bustle of ED work and see more about primary care and maybe a specialty related to internal medicine as suggestions. You're insight on medicine sound be a bit more well rounded in my opinion.

If you have any other community service that really puts you away from your comfort zone. That would be great. I think you have a lot with being an EMT but may want to be more knowledgeable about other areas where people struggle in their lives but not in a "life or death" conversation.

Follow Goro's list. There are many people who need help in the LA area, especially with the housing crisis there. Consider spending your time in some way to organizations that help with that and broaden your view as Mr. Smile suggested. If your undergrad also has a med school, apply there since Baylor and UTSW are already on TMDAS. As in, if you attended A&M, apply to their med school. Dell if you were at UT in Austin. They may consider an undergrad alumni differently, especially with high stats.
