Premed UH or TTU

im currently a high school senior and am applying to UH and TTU as molecular biology major on the premed track. I heard the premed programs are really good for both these schools so i wanted to know student life, academic rigor, campus culture, and opportunities they offer.

I know more about TTU than UH, and only recently started looking into what UH offers and lowkey they seem pretty cool. Here's a list of pros and cons with my limited knowledge:

TTU

Pros:

- day 1 paid research

- unique agriculture+biotech combo for molecular bio major

- honors admissions person knows me cuz i visited the campus and him during summer (he also seems to like me and we've been emailing a few times when i was submitting my apps)

- connection with large hospital

- MCAT waived: EAP, UMSI (hard to get in tho)

- JAMP (i feel like getting into jamp will be easier for TTU than UH)

Cons:

- middle of nowhere

UH

Pros:

- TMC (this one is the biggest. Leads to internships, shadowing, research with prestigious partners)

- smaller class size

- BSMD (including pathway to Baylor)

- JAMP

sorry, dont know much so pls let me know more pros

Cons:

dont know much to list any cons
