Hi! I'm glad you're interested in UT's pre-med program. While I'm not a pre-med student myself, I can share some information that I hope you find helpful.

First and foremost, it's important to note that pre-med isn't a major but rather an advising track. At UT, you can choose any major, as long as you fulfill the necessary prerequisite courses required for medical school. Having said that, many pre-med students at UT choose majors like Biology, Biochemistry, and Neuroscience, which overlap with pre-med course requirements.

As for resources, UT offers a Health Professions Office (HPO) to help guide you throughout your pre-med journey. The HPO provides advising for course selection, MCAT preparation, and the medical school application process. It's a good idea to check in with them early on, as they can help you map out your academic path and ensure you're on track to meet your goals.

In terms of professors, UT is known for having a strong faculty in the sciences. You can expect knowledgeable and experienced instructors who are passionate about their subjects and often involved in research. Of course, there will be variations in teaching styles, so it's always a good idea to ask around or use resources like Rate My Professors to get a sense of which professors may be a good fit for you.

One of the advantages of being a pre-med student at UT is the opportunity for research and internships. UT's location in Austin allows access to various healthcare facilities like the Dell Medical School and the Dell Seton Medical Center, which provide opportunities for internships, volunteering, and shadowing experiences. Additionally, the university has numerous research labs in the sciences, so you can engage in hands-on research under the guidance of faculty members.

Finally, when it comes to clubs and organizations, UT has a variety of options for students interested in the medical field. Examples include the American Medical Student Association, Texas Pre-Dental Society, and the Global Medical Training club. These clubs provide opportunities for networking, community outreach, and learning more about the healthcare field.

I hope this gives you a better idea of what the pre-med experience at UT is like. Best of luck with your college search and future endeavors!
