Editor's notes

  • The interview is where most of the decision happens. It's 45 to 60 minutes on video with admissions staff, and the FAQ lists the topics: why medicine, healthcare experience, academics, future plans and what you'd add. Prepare a specific answer for each.
  • Your MCAT and GPA set your scholarship, and the school uses whichever is higher. A 3.4 GPA or a 500 MCAT earns $60,000; a 3.7 or a 510 earns $90,000. If a retake could move you a tier, the math may favor it.
  • Apply with a verified AMCAS if you have one. SMUSOM won't review unverified copies, and without a verified application you'll need to send transcripts yourself, which slows the file down.
  • Price the whole degree. The school's own 2026-27 estimate is $470,326 over ten semesters, and new federal borrowers can't use Grad PLUS, so plan for a funding gap.
