Purely fit. They are easy. Just be able to answer "Why SMU?" and explain what you have planned for your future.

Thanks KKS!
Did apply to SMU? If you did, were you accepted? If so, how generous was the financial aid package?

Thanks!

I did not apply to SMU. I applied to Villanova, Vanderbilt, Washington University, LBS, LSE, and MIT. I got into all of them except for MIT. LSE and Villanova had no interviews, but the others all asked the same type of stuff.

 

I'll be speaking with the program director in another week or so. I'll let you know how it does.

As for questions, as mentioned above it will be fit. Be able to walk through your résumé though. Why an MSF. Why SMU. I'd be able to talk on Dallas and Texas and why that part of the country.

The SMU program is pretty new and it looks like they are really firing it up. Deff a good thing.
