Which TX schools look unfavorably upon Texan applicants that don’t apply to all TX schools?
I would like to avoid applying to some of the schools I have no chance at due to academic qualifications needed (probably baylor, UTSW, Dell) as well as those I wouldn’t have mission fit for (UT Tyler, UTRGV). I know I can check all schools on TMDSAS and later ignore the secondary requests, but in case I have to reapply next year, with my added activities if I would have a chance at these places, I don’t want it to be an issue that I did this my first cycle.
I don’t “plan” to reapply and have done a lot to apply now, but still want to be strategic about how I spend my time
I have heard some tx schools take school lists into consideration, but wanted to know if anyone knows this for a fact, and if so, which ones do this
