Sara Black

MSA gave me an invaluable jump-start into higher education that propelled my medical career. Free of financial burdens, I thrived academically, established long-lasting professional connections, and become involved with biomedical research on a university level. These worthwhile experiences as a high school student smoothly paved my path toward becoming a resident physician in dermatology at UT Southwestern.

I made the decision to go to the UTRGV Mathematics and Science Academy because it would mean challenging myself to take harder classes and grow. Taking classes with university students taught by amazing professors has encouraged me to always try my best. In addition, MSA provides students with the necessary tools to get a head start in college and graduate early. From the friendly community to the plethora of opportunities, MSA offers something for every student.
