<p>I just graduated with a BS in Biology from Texas A&M in Dec 2012 for Pre-Nursing (Basically the same as Pre-med course-wise). The professors are very accessible, but as with any college, you have to actually try and talk to them. Showing initiative will open up opportunities for them to better aid you in their classes. Generally, classes are not taught by TAs, and professors are good instructors. Out of all of my classes, I only had half of one taught by a post-doc. A’s are definitely a possibility. My Biology GPA was a 3.7, and I started in engineering. I wouldn’t waste your time in honors. Just means more work for you, and med schools don’t care much. They’re more into your previous experience, extracurriculars, and your MCAT score. That’s what A&M’s med school was into when I worked there anyway. They want you to have a high GPA, but they also want someone who consistently shows that they can handle large amounts of tasks at once because that is what students will experience in their first 2 years of med school.</p>
