SMU is a very good school as long as you pay huge price ( possibly don’t worth for premed unless you are super rich and want to stay in Dallas). No grade deflation at SMU. Small classes. Not a competitive throat cutting environment or dominated by competitive students. Cox is one of the best business school in nation. If you don’t go to medical school then your Cox connections will help you a lot to find a good job in Texas right away. Look at that is problem somewhere else. I don’t think SMU was problem. Problem might be choice of premed or lack of motivation etc. sorry for too much judgment but something doesn’t make sense. Texas has a lot of medical school. Concentrate on your MCAT and good GPA.
