<p>k i joined the facebook group.</p>

<p>unique123, there’s not much prep i guess. i just studied for the SAT and thought about my essay/app questions. i think having strong extracurriculars helped. my stats weren’t that great but here they are:</p>

<p>no GPA or rank but avg. is 94%
SAT (superscored): 690 reading, 730 writing, 740 math
SAT II: 710 chem, 690 math II
APs: english lang/comp (5), english lit, calc, bio, chem</p>

<p>[Urban</a> Dictionary: smed](<a href=“http://www.urbandictionary.com/define.php?term=smed]Urban”>Urban Dictionary: smeds)</p>

<p>Guys look what I’ve found on urban dictionary!:
SMED:

  1. short for seven-year medical students at Boston University who tend to be very horny because they study too much
  2. sexually mutated exotic dancers
  3. a mostly indian group of people </p>

<p>Yash: “I’m so glad the I’m a smed.”
Achal: “Yeh we don’t have to apply to med school. What do you think Ryan?”
Ryan: “I’m so horny.” </p>

<p>Ahahahahahahahah i laughed so hard. this makes zero sense, but the hilarity!</p>

<p>BU Med School is making news for all the wrong reasons lately</p>

68

<p>According to this thread, applicants got calls from BU at this time last year. Anyone have any news on the 2010 applicants or how many are selected for interview/accepted?</p>

69

<p>Not sure how many interviewees there are, but interviews are scheduled from this week to the end of February, if that helps.</p>

70

<p>Are there any reported interviews from BU so far?</p>

71

<p>yeah. a few if i recall. i know i got one…rest should be posted on the interview thread

72

<p>I had my interview this week at Boston</p>

73

<p>how’d it go?
do you recall any particularly difficult questions?
thanks & gluck!</p>

74

<p>D had interview last week. Any one knows the timelines from now for acceptance/rejections? i only knew no news is bad news, but when do students hear anything if accepted? Thanks.</p>

75

<p>My D got accepted into BU SMED program last year. She got the online decision in the last week of March for both regular program as well as 7 year program on the same day. However, she is attending Pitt now for Guaranteed Admit program.</p>

76

<p>Gee thanks. Wow. PITT BSMD is impossible unless u r in-state-- they take 5 a year 00S !</p>

77

<p>Sorry, but i meant UConn instead. Dunno about Pitt, but their transplant program is world famous</p>

78

<p>Dofbsmdapp, UConn accepts ~10 people (maybe more in recent years, but not significantly more) into CPiM a year. I don’t think they ‘reserve’ half of those spots for OOS or IS. The idea of UConn giving out 5 OOS CPiM interviews a year is a bit more believable (they give out 20-25 interviews), but I don’t even know about that.</p>

79

<p>Still haven’t heard anything from BU. I’m doubtful I’ll receive an interview at this point, but it’d be nice if they let me know either way.</p>

80

<p>i haven’t heard anything from bu yet either. they really should at least send out rejections…people say that they keep sending interviews till the end of february, but as far as i know, everyone who got interviews already interviewed a couple weeks ago</p>
