Hey guys, I applied for Sept 08 and have my application complete. How long did it take them to get back to you?? thanks

My process was pretty quick... once they got all my materials. After they had all my materials and brought them to the review committee -- they took less than a week to contact me by phone for an interview, and then I was accepted not more than 24hours later.

They did offer me a chance, during the interview, to say if I was considering other med schools and if I may need more time to accept/reject/consider other offers. Luckily for me, SMU has had two alumni from my family and so I was happy to accept quickly.

Luck to you, runincrazy.

DrAlphaOmega...would you mind saying what your GPA and MCAT was...i have a 3.58 GPA and 3.44 Science as well as 22Q...i'm trying to see where i stand in possibly getting in

Not at all. I had a 2.92 GPA (my Science GPA drifted upwards of a 3.12?) and got a 28M on the MCAT. My main pluses were really great LoRs and an internship along with a job as an MT for one year from UofM -- so I've had some hospital experience beyond my average hours of volunteer. I'm still fresh though.

So obviously, your GPA blows mine out of the water. I really don't know what's typical at this particular school though. Always emphasize your strengths.. realistically, of course ^^;;. Assume they're looking for why you DO belong, not why you don't.

Hi all, I applied about 2 weeks ago and had an interview on tuesday the 22nd, I got the call today for acceptance. if anyone wants to know how the interview goes, pm me and I will let you know all about it.
besides, I was told that i have 7 days to make a decision. I had applied to Ross, Saba, Mua and the fact that I mailled their applications, I have not heard anything from them yet. still waiting to dicide wether I should accept or decline SMU.
The Director of admission told me that I would have to pay the 500 and another 1000 within 7 days, is this normal for all of you guys or did I misunderstand?
I am very excited though but I am a bit nervous. I have a Huge decision to make in only 7 days.
congrats to all who have been accepted, maybe I will see you guys in May. by the way, I am from FL, anyone from FL please PM me so we can get to know eachother. thanks!

Congrats--from one Florida resident to another.
