Do you know when they are supposed to email decisions?

pippa1234 · May 23, 2016

On their website, it just says "May"... however, looking at the discussion forums from last year, I see that people were finding out decisions by the second week of May. I'm worried there weren't enough applicants for the November cohort. Have you heard anything?

sfbayyay · May 24, 2016

Haven't heard anything! I did see that last year they had already been notified by now though!

I'm sure they have more than enough applicants, the information session I attended was packed full of people.

Interesting - which information session did you attend?

Have you taken pathophysiology yet? I'm having trouble finding an online course for the summer that's still available.

Haven't heard back yet, very impatiently waiting! Glad I found this forum though- definitely good to know we're all in the same boat :) has anyone else been emailed any communication from SMU other than to say the application was received? Good luck everyone!

I'm waiting too! I e-mailed Anne last week in hopes of a date when they would have the decisions by, and she just said she has no idea. But Good Lucky Everyone!

Anne's answer seems really strange! You'd think she would have at least given a month or something, like June or July, or even August . . .

Someone said the program is on one of the SMU calendars to start Monday, October 31.

jennybeans223 · May 28, 2016

Well, she worded it much better than I did! This is the exact response:

"Hi, Jenny. I have not heard any update on when we might have admission decisions. I'm sorry. Anne"

I'm guessing we will hear on Tuesday since the website says "End of May." And we obviously won't be hearing during the holiday weekend. If not, hopefully they will communicate with us!

Anyone have any updates on when we might hear?!

What do you guys think is the reason for the delay?

pippa1234 · Jun 6, 2016

On 5/26, Rachel Luna, the Student Services Coordinator of the San Mateo campus, told me that applications for this cohort are currently under review by the faculty. She imagined admission decisions would be sent out "within the next few weeks."

No reason was given for the delay - maybe too many, or too few, applications for this cohort? I noticed on the CAS system that the applicaiton deadline backed up from 3/1/16 to 4/1/16.

Unrelated question - where did everyone take their pathophysiology course?

Hi everyone! Admissions decisions should be rolling in your e-mails soon. I received a few e-mails from SMU this morning. Good luck! :)
