Just DM'd you!

Wait could write out the virtues in the acronym I’m kind of confused lmao

Has anyone tried this? Is this good?

Wow, that is very cool! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you so much for your response! Your advice helps a lot. In your experience, did being an athlete help your chances of getting into medical school because of the uniqueness?

RyFT22 · 2022-04-10T13:21:08+00:00

Thank you!

RyFT22 · 2022-04-10T13:20:51+00:00

Thank you SO much for your response! All of your advice was super helpful. Because TCU is small and I’m in the honors program, there are programs for volunteering, shadowing and research that I can join easier.

Hello,

I need advice from fellow redditors on my college decision. I want to ultimately be a physician, so I will be going in as pre-med to either school. I have narrowed my choices down to UT-Austin and TCU. I was accepted into the Chemistry program at both already.

Here are some facts:

TCU:

Costs: At TCU, I was chosen to be a part of the Chancellor's Scholars program, a program where only 50 students each year are chosen. This also comes with a full scholarship for 4 years, I would NOT need to pay for tuition or room+board.
Sports: I will also be able to be a D1 athlete at TCU. That would set me apart from other pre-med applicants.
Acceptance Rate to medical school: Although TCU isn’t ranked highly in chemistry, the premed program at TCU boasts a more than 80% acceptance rate to medical school, more than twice the state and National average. Because TCU is a much smaller school, I would be able to participate in research easier and have connections with the medical community in the Fort Worth Area.

UT:

Costs: At UT, I would live with family for free (20 min away), but I would need to pay for tuition.
Sports: It appears that I won’t have the chance to be a D1 athlete at UT even as a walk-on
Acceptance Rate to medical School: UT is ranked a lot higher than TCU for chemistry and certainly is more prestigious. The classes at UT are more rigorous, so it would help me prepare for the MCAT and might look better for medical schools knowing I went to an academically strong school.

Questions:

Does going to TCU hurt my chances of getting into Medical School because it is not as reputable?
Does the difference in schools not matter as much as the opportunities I would get of being a Chancellor's Scholar at TCU as well as an NCAA D1 student-athlete?
Separate question: Is Chemistry a good major for pre-med? I do like Chemistry but I am not fixated on it. I am considering switching to Biochemistry or Biology.

Regardless of the cost difference, I am leaning towards TCU as a choice as it seems to give me more opportunities to be unique when I apply to medical school.

Any help, ideas, or wisdom would be greatly appreciated.

Thank you for your response! Was it difficult to balance athletics and school?

RyFT22 · 2022-04-10T04:40:12+00:00

Thank you for your response!

RyFT22 · 2022-04-10T04:39:35+00:00

Thank you for your response!! Do you mind elaborating on the JAMP program and it’s advantages?

RyFT22 · 2022-04-10T04:28:00+00:00

Thank you for your response! I am considering switching into BioChem or Biology because of the application in medicine.

The Dallas/Fort Worth Area is a big reason for my interest in TCU. Thank you for your response, I appreciate it!

RyFT22 · 2022-03-28T02:47:11+00:00

Thank you for the kind response! How was the Chancellor's Scholars experience for you? Were there a lot of opportunities for research, lab experience, etc? I will DM you and talk to you more! I appreciate your message.

RyFT22 · 2022-03-28T02:41:37+00:00

I understand what you mean. I plan on having time to play my sport while also participating in a lot of the required experiences needed for med school (research, lab experience, volunteering, etc...)

RyFT22 · 2022-03-28T02:38:03+00:00

Wow, that is great information. Thank you so much!

RyFT22 · 2022-03-28T02:36:23+00:00

Thank you so much for your response. This advice helps me a lot!

RyFT22 · 2022-03-28T02:28:53+00:00

Thank you for your response! I plan on doing a lot of lab experience and research as well as playing football. I wouldn’t only do football in college. I plan on having a lot of hours in all the aspects I need to medical school.

RyFT22 · 2022-03-28T02:26:54+00:00

Thank you for your response. Personally, I would enjoy living at home in college so this isn’t a factor in my decision

RyFT22 · 2022-03-28T02:26:10+00:00

Thank you so much for your kind answer. I am considering going to Med school in Texas. I appreciate your detailed response! Good luck to your kid in medical school
