ADMISSIONS

[olywa]

Hey all. Anyone know how lax the admissions committee is at SMU? I have 1 year of chem, 2 years of bio, and unfortunately no physics and want to be a MD.

Are they demanding that you have the full 2 yrs chem, 1 bio, 1 physics or are the more relaxed and interested in a tuition paying customer?

I am just starting to finish off my prereq's, but was wondering if I should apply with what I have.

Any personal experiences are welcomed

all prereqs must be completed before admissions, you can apply without them but it would make no sense...

:wink:

Why not just take them now since you have fall semester to do it and then apply for the jan semester once those are completed

[gebbils]

you should have 1 year of gen chem, 1 year of org, 1 year of physics and 1 year of bio, so it will take more than a semester to complete all the classes that you are missing, so take your time and take them all before you apply, those are the pre-requisites, otherwise why even bother with going to college, if they will be taking everyone off the street, just because they have money

My bad, I read it wrong. what is the hurry? SMU will still be there when you're done. Enjoy college, it's the best time. I have, that's why i am going to an offshore school. :D No offense to anyone

SMU Premed requirements =
1 year of Biology w/ lab
1 year of Gen. Chem. w/ lab
1 year of O. Chem w/ lab
1 semester of Physics w/ lab

There is no way around these requirements, however, if you are in the process of completing the requirements, it would be a good idea to apply. That way you can possibly gain conditional acceptance until your remaining requirements are met.

Good luck!
