Hannah McCain isn’t heading to medical school next fall because she was an athlete in college.
Because of her SMU equestrian schedule, McCain was told by coaches to drop a class her sophomore year to attend practices. As a pre-med major, dropping that chemistry lab put her behind to take the Medical College Admission Test.
“I have to take a gap year before medical school because I had to drop that class and I had to finish everything senior year,” said McCain. “So I’m taking the MCAT senior year and won’t apply to medical school until this summer and I have to wait a whole year until medical school is back in session.
