These are my less-than-stellar stats that got me an interview at SMU. Note: I got my BS degree over ten years ago, and graduated with a 2.9. My GPA is slowly improving as I am taking my last remaining pre-reqs, but it's still pretty weak >😛
They might have taken into consideration my record over the last 10 years...I do have 156 credit hours of post-bacc courses (including a couple pre-reqs) with a 4.0.
Undergrad: University of California, Santa Barbara
Major: Biology, B.S.
Overall GPA: 3.16
Pre-req GPA: 2.98
GRE: V 160, Q 158, AW 4.0
Observation/Volunteer Hours: 70 hours in post-acute rehab/skilled nursing facility
Yes, I really did get an interview with those terrible GPAs!
Good luck!

Thanks! Btw it seems that community service is pretty important to them too, even though it's not 'required'. (I have not done any unfortunately). I would suggest getting involved in some way. Also, I wish I had more volunteer hours, and in different settings. You should definitely try to get well over the minimum 40 hours. I know you can get in without that, but it certainly helps! Good luck with the process! It seems like a really great program. If I don't get in, I'm reapplying there next year for sure!
What does your last name start with?? Congrats! Your stats are awesome and you deserve all your acceptances!
My last name starts with B - so they must be going down the list. Thanks so much - my grades aren't the most impressive, but I did a ton of clinical hours and had a lot to talk about in interviews.What does your last name start with?? Congrats! Your stats are awesome and you deserve all your acceptances!
just got a call too! Super excited....I now know where I'll be going next year! Good luck everyone!
