Abstract: SMC 3 is one of the most interesting symbiotic stars. This binary contains a bright K-type giant transferring mass to a massive white dwarf comanion, which makes it is a very promising SN Ia candidate. We discuss the evolutionary status of the system using results of population synthesis code.<br />Comment: Proceedings of Physics of Evolved Stars 2015: A Conference Dedicated to the Memory of Olivier Chesneau, Nice, 8-12 June 2015
