Hello,
I would be grateful if you could give some suggestion so that I can make an informed and meaningful decision for my son who wants to be doctor.
We currently live in VA and I have an option to move to Texas. (I am fully aware of the residency requirements. We will move to TX and live there for indefinite period if it helps my son).
I understand it depends on lot of factors. But assuming all things equal (GPA, MCAT and other relevant experiences), will he have better of chance of getting into med school in Texas as an in-state applicant vs limited schools/opportunities here in Virginia? I see Texas has 16 schools vs 6 in VA).
He is currently 3rd year undergrad and plans to take a gap year.
cGPA and sGPA ~ 3.8. (Hopefully might go up a little).
MCAT based on the practice tests - 514 (of course, just to give some idea for better understanding).
Research @nih during two summers and once at U-Pitt and many volunteering and clinical hours. (I will provide details in another post following the template for the same)
Very thankful for any insights regarding this.
