I also interviewed 12/5 and received an acceptance email today (Saturday)!
I still want to keep my options open and wait to hear back from other schools, but I think I would be happy at Samuel Merritt! Will you be accepting?I received an acceptance letter via email on Saturday as well (interviewed 12/5). Is everyone accepting their admissions?

Hi huckleberry pim,
I was wait listed as well. In the email they sent you, did they give you the option to talk to an academic advisor or are you just doing it on your own? Also, did they also tell you in the email to sign up for FAFSA?
I have!Has anyone been offered a seat from the waitlist?
What position on the waitlist were you originally?I have!

Thank you!I ended up declining my acceptance, so that will open up a spot for someone on the waitlist!
Facebook: Samuel Merritt MOT Fall 2016 CohortHi and CONGRATS to everyone who got accepted! I was wondering if the class had a FB page or any way for us to start communicating about next semester. I'm thinking of starting one.
Assuming my last position has been the same that would make me number 5. Thank you!I am declining my acceptance. Not sure how long it takes them to process, but that's one more spot!
Hi!Good luck in your interviews! The questions are ones that you should be able to answer without studying for them. They ask the same five questions for every applicant, so as to be fair.
Respectful answer: I am not independently wealthy, but I am very happy to be a current student at SMU. It is expensive, but it is also not six figures for a degree. Let me tell you some things that our money goes towards, which some have complained about not having: Our faculty, all PhDs, are wonderful, and they personally teach the classes instead of leaving it up to someone else. In fact, many of the faculty put their cell phone numbers on the syllabus so we can call if we ever have questions about our assignments. The faculty also actively works to avoid favoritism and politics; they treat us like professionals. The facilities meet our needs, and are available to students not just for class times, but any time they are needed. Our cadaver lab is amazing; other schools I considered didn't even have anatomy because of the cost, but I have learned so much more at SMU than I did in my pre-requisite classes. The school provides free, high-quality tutoring for anyone who asks for it, and has many other resources available to students who need help. I have never felt like my education was lacking, and I absolutely recommend this program to anyone who asks.
MOT4ME, you have asked this same question for at least 3 years in the Samuel Merritt topics. I understand that the only bottom line for you is the $$, and your message is clear on many different threads. I do not understand why you insert these comments into a place where people want updates about interviews and admissions.
hi!I received an acceptance letter via email on Saturday as well (interviewed 12/5). Is everyone accepting their admissions?
hi!
I'm asking multiple people about their SM interviewing experience as i'll be interviewing there for the fall 2017 cohort! any information or tips would help out! As it looks like you got into the program, I was hoping that you could pass on some advice for the interviewing process? do you remember if there was a set of specific questions asked, or if it was more of a casual conversation? I believe the interviews are group interviews, and then you break for individual writing samples? was that your experience? again, any tips would be greatly appreciated!
thanks!!
I was invited to interview too! Good luck!
I got invited too! I'm excited yet nervous since it's their first time interviewing for the Doctorate program. Interview date is Jan14. How is everyone preparing for this interview?
