Hi, Congrats to all freshman!!

I will be having my interview on Monday and just wondering whats my chance of getting in if asked for a interview? Hope seeing all of you there in May! Thanks for any response!

Some typical questions for most any interview to think about are the old 'What are you strengths and weaknesses' or variations like that like. They did also ask 'Why an international medical school'. I can't pin down other things, but nothing was "out of the blue" so certainly nothing to be nervous about. Oh, one of the last question was a variation on "describe yourself in a few words".. basically what would be some last words you'd like to shoot to the committee.

Heh, though I remember my heart beating the whole time.. but just be as natural as possible.. my personal interviewer did a good job of trying to ease into it. The interview process is stressful regardless, just by its nature -- hopefully he/she will ask the "How are you doing", "<insert other easy questions>", etc... y'know, kind of like how they set you up in a lie-detector test

Seriously just be confident and natural. If you got this, you've made good timely decisions, right? Good luck on the interview Kirarei!

Thanks a lot! I'll try to be as calm as I can, still anxious... T

Just wondering from all you SMU bound students what you think my chances are for May or August admission. I have my application complete and am going to mail it tomorrow or the next day.

Undergrad gpa - 2.3 (B. S. Psychobiology)
Post-bacc gpa - 3.56 (gen chem 1&2, organic chem 1&2, physics 1&2, anat & phys 1&2, and med micro)
MCAT - 8/20 24R, 9/11 24 O
Healthcare experience - 5 and a half years conducting NCI clinical trials in hematology/oncology at a medical center

Thanks a lot!

I'd say ur chances are great! I got into AUC/Ross/SGU with similiar stats and MCAT scores. I got into SMU as well but it was always my backup school (I wanted to be able to practice in all 50 states)

GOOD LUCK TO EVERYONE!

echolake 85, thanks a lot for your advice but I was already rejected to AUC for May and I applied 12/31. However, I have had an interview for St. George's but am applying to SMU, I went to the info seminar in NYC and seems like a nice school.

I just had my interview today and it went well, does anybody need a room mate? coming from lakewood, ohio.

hi kryptk, would you mind me asking how long since the submission of the application until your interview invite and how long from your interview until admission. would you also mind me asking your stats? I read the viewbook SMU sent me and looked at the pics from the forum and read students opinions and it really seems like a great school.

hi tweedy,
would you mind answering the same question i asked kryptik? Thanks.
