Hello,

I was wondering if there was any advantage to applying in May versus the other two options. I'm applying for May 2005 and was just curious! Any feedback you could give me would be great! Anyone down there from Pittsburgh??

Since SMU is on a rolling admissions schedule, the only advantage is that the class fills later, if at all. This would give you more time to get your documents in (but no later than 1 month out, including financial aid and immigration).

Thanks for the response! Let me ask you another question. I have taken the MCAT and got a pretty lousy score 23P. I was wondering if I should submitt my score to St. Matthews or not??

You need to submit your score for statistics, but the admissions committee never sees it. You don't need to worry about your score. SMU goes by the whole application.
