It’s back to the Lone Star state to talk with the Admissions Deans at Baylor College of Medicine located in Houston, Texas.  You’ve likely heard the phrase that “Everything is bigger in Texas” and this is definitely a big episode. We don’t hear from one admissions dean - we talk with two. Baylor COM is located in the 4th largest city in the US - Houston, Texas.  Did you know that the Texas Medical Center is the largest medical complex in the world? In the world! We touch on some of these topics and, of course, their admissions process and what they look for in their applicants that rise to the top.
