From looking at last years forum it seems like they sent interview invites in the span of 3 to 4 days. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I doubt it since there is only 44 seats if I'm not mistaken and their website states they interview about 140-160 people a year. Congrats everyone If anyone has insight as to the interview style & what to expect, it would be appreciated 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MikePA Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 (edited) I've applied to this school a few weeks prior to the deadline. I still have not received a confirmation E-mail from the school. Should I be worried and contact the school? When did you guys received your confirmation E-mail after you submitted your CASPA application?

FromCSTtoPAC Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 Hi everyone! I received an invitation to interview yesterday, however I have declined it as I have accepted a seat in a different program. I wish all of you the best of luck and I hope this opens up a spot for someone else! I was actually a reapplicant to this program and interviewed with them during the last cycle. It is a long day, but they make it a lot of fun. My advice would be to look over your applications and remember all of the terrific things that make you an outstanding candidate. Stay true to your yourself and let that shine during your interviews. They send out a detailed breakdown of your interview day shortly before your session (a few days prior give or take...from what I can remember). Don't worry! It really is a nice experience. Nothing is done to trick you or make you nervous. They have a wonderful faculty and they pick great cohorts. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serenanicole98 Posted December 15, 2021 Share Posted December 15, 2021 So do we think there will be more invites going out? The wait is killing me lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Someone in the forum said that around 200 people have already been invited to interview. From just reading that you can assume that those are all the interview invites they might send. However, I don’t know if they send more invites to fill the spots for people who are declining the interview. From looking at the previous years forum (2020-2021) they sent out interview invites in the span of 3-4 days. They might have changed the way they send out interviews and just do it all in one day. This is my first applying to SMU so I’m unfamiliar with their process. I guess we’ll find out in the next couple days! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

PAROUTE Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Hey.. has anyone else received an interview invite after Tuesday 12/14? I don't want to believe they already sent 200 invites lol.. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
serenanicole98 Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 I haven't received anything yet. From reading other posts, it seems as though they send invites over 3-4 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheSomedayPA Posted December 16, 2021 Share Posted December 16, 2021 Can we safely assume that Tuesday was the mass interview invite email blast? Based off the numbers people have thrown out, it sounds like they’re likely not sending out more invites over 3-4 days. With 3 dates and 200 invitations, it sounds about right that each date will have almost 70 interviewees. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

hughgugugugugh Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Did anyone receive a confirmation email with the detailed information regarding the interview after signing up? I signed up for the 1/22 (which is now filled), however, I have not received anything on my end. I don't want to make a duplicate submission for other dates so I wanted to double check with you guys Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope that helps for everyone else who’s worried about not receiving a confirmation email right away too.

Jbrown2929 Posted December 17, 2021 Share Posted December 17, 2021 Anyone know if they are sending out any more invites? Also had any one gotten any rejection letters or do they just leave you hanging? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I feel like they've changed their approach this cycle and aren't sending out invites over a span of 3-4 days like they did/have done in the past. Appears they did a huge e-mail blast on Tuesday 12/14 to 200ish applicants (per two other posts). *sigh* Oh well... onward and upward! I'm already planning out my new personal statement and considering taking biochem in the spring Edited December 18, 2021 by TheSomedayPA Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
