Hi bagirl24!
I’m currently a Sophomore studying Biology at SMU and I’ve absolutely loved it so far. I’ve had numerous research opportunities with professors, since my second semester of my Freshman year, so I never had to wait until I was an Upperclassmen to begin researching (huge plus for med school!)
Also, since I have a range of interests, SMU’s curriculum allows me to study other thing, as well. Along with Biology, I’m also majoring in Political Science and Spanish, and I’ll still finish in 4 years!
Another thing I learned just this summer is that there are so many hospitals just within a 5 mile radius of SMU, from Parkland to Presbyterian, and even UTSW Medical School, which is great for internships and volunteering opportunities.
So overall, I’ve loved every minute of it and I think choosing SMU for my Pre-Med route has been the best decision, ever!
