amrubin Posted February 7, 2014 Share Posted February 7, 2014 Hi everyone! Figured I'd start a thread similar to last year's for accepted students! I got my call yesterday and am over the moon with excitement! Can't wait to meet all of my soon-to-be classmates! Is it August yet? ;)Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mpoulton Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Congratulations! I'm still waiting to hear back. How many interviews did you have and when did they first contact you? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Remster825 Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Congratulations! I'm still waiting to hear back. How many interviews did you have and when did they first contact you? Hey there! I can give you some insight as an admitted SMU student (yay!) if it's helpful. :) I applied to 3 schools and got interview invites at each of the 3 places. I canceled one interview because it for a Southern California program (which is where I am from, but for family reasons I really need to stay in Northern California and I had 2 interview invites up here). I was contacted on February 6th by both SMU and the other school with admission offers. I interviewed with SMU on the first interview day, January 25th. SMU is my top choice so I will definitely be sending in my deposit pronto! Hope that helps and keep your chin up! The day prior to getting both my offers I was second-guessing my interview performance so much that I was sure I'd get two rejections. The next day, everything turned around so it's not over until its over! Fingers crossed for you and all others waiting- can't wait to meet my future classmates! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pa_applicant Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Has anyone heard anything today? I thought they we're suppose to notify everyone by march 1st. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
emt2pa80 Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Nope. Interviewed on 1/25 and I assume they are running behind. Not much to do but wait. Oh and be very jealous of the few who already heard good news... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pa_applicant Posted March 4, 2014 Share Posted March 4, 2014 Just got my rejection email...bummer. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WAPAGirl Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 Keep your head up Newbie! Most of us who have been accepted received handfuls of rejection letters. It is quite difficult to get into PA school and if you truly want to be a PA, you will get in. It took me three years of applying and interviews to get in. Good luck and congrats on getting an interview! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FuturePA@UCDavis Posted March 5, 2014 Share Posted March 5, 2014 I interviewed 2/22 and still haven't heard anything... They must be running behind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ally8888 Posted March 12, 2014 Share Posted March 12, 2014 Has anyone accepted done the physical, CBC, and all the other requirements? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gworjr02 Posted March 19, 2014 Share Posted March 19, 2014 I got accepted over a month ago and just now found this forum! I am excited for this next chapter of school! I did my drug screen, criminal background check and paid my $350. I still need to do the physical and what not. Per an e-mail from Pam a couple of weeks ago she stated to do the physical closer to the start date. I am also finishing my last pre-req before school starts. I am moving from Oregon and will be starting my search for a apartment soon. Any advice? Have a good one and hopefully everyone gets to travel and get a vacation in before school starts!

gworjr02 Posted March 25, 2014 Share Posted March 25, 2014 Does anyone know what the cost of attendance has been in the past for SMU? I can find tuition, insurance and misc expenses, but not room and board costs for financial aid purposes. Does anyone have an idea? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you!

cstarkwe Posted March 26, 2014 Share Posted March 26, 2014 Does anyone know what the cost of attendance has been in the past for SMU? I can find tuition, insurance and misc expenses, but not room and board costs for financial aid purposes. Does anyone have an idea? Any help would be appreciated. Thank you! I paid 1400 a month for a 1 bedroom and 1 bath within walking distance to the school. Most people I knew paid about 1000-1800. Also consider a roommate or renting a room out to lower costs.

tpips Posted March 27, 2014 Share Posted March 27, 2014 Hey guys! I just got the phone call today accepting me into SMU!!! I'm so excited to join all of you in the fall. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ithrowsticks Posted April 2, 2014 Share Posted April 2, 2014 Hi everyone, I just remembered website today and decided to check on things. Congratulations to those of you who received acceptance notices! We are all excited for you and look forward to seeing you again this fall. If I can be of any help, please feel free to reach out. I am sure there will be others to do the same. I see you already got some direction in health forms/requirements that need completion prior to start. You'll be getting more emails regarding classes and other essentials as it gets closer. In the meanwhile, do your best to enjoy the remaining months before the program starts. - Eleazar Dial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
