<p>Your record is certainly outstanding. Have you applied? That’s all you need to do! I think SMU works hard to have a strong program, at least in business and the arts, and now: watch out for their engineering school. I don’t know how their life sciences rate but it must be good it you’re looking into it! Good luck! the only way you can find out is to apply!</p>

<p>yea you will probably get a presidential scholarship. my sister did and her resume wasn’t as impressive as yours</p>
