Parental advice here (so take what you need and leave the rest): Don't choose your undergraduate school based on this long-term objective. There are many factors in choosing an undergrad school, and any combination of those could more significantly impact (positively or negatively) your attractiveness as a med school candidate than merely geographical location.

Gonna confirm this- Going to college in Texas does not confer you Texas Resident status.I just want to answer something implicit in your question:
Generally, you don't establish residency in a state just by attending school there. From that perspective, there aren't states that are better for an undergrad to attend UNLESS you're specifically working outside of that to establish residence.
Usually, your college "residence" is considered transient with your permanent address at home. You have to jump through some extra hoops to establish residence in your college state if that's the goal: like living there year-around, getting a permanent address that's not on campus, and getting employment in that state.
I mention this because many, many of my students think they're going to be able to apply as MyState residents for medical school and are not eligible for it.
Going to be biased and say California because the quality of education is great at UCs and Cal States, but I'm not sure if this matters when you're coming out of state and paying that out of state tuition. Plus the weather cant be beat. I hate snow hahaapplying to undergrad, looking to see what state for undergrad is best for pursuing medicine

As awesome as we are, an IS matriculation percentage of 18% means that most well-qualified CA applicants still get exported to other states...Going to be biased and say California because the quality of education is great at UCs and Cal States, but I'm not sure if this matters when you're coming out of state and paying that out of state tuition.
