I'm interested in going to SMU's MBA program, how hard was it to get accepted? What was your GMAT score, undergrad GPA etc if you don't mind me asking? Also what the heck are they charging these days? I just graduated from UNT last August and I need to go back now or I never will.
the other program I applied to (i'm in waitlist purgatory here) is UT austin at DFW and they're total is 74k. SMU is more than that.

College became a "hobby" of mine in my pursuit to continually improve and be at the top of my game. BA, BS, MS, MD, PhD, residencies, and fellowship all while working full time and supporting a family. Goal now--->retire before 40! 
How on earth did you work full time while working on a Ph.D or medical school for that matter? That's amazing.

Wow, that's pretty steep. How many credit hours is the MBA program total? Also, does that include room/board or just tuition without books and other fees etc?
UTD is ranked well in US news fwiw.

FWIW, SMU's PMBA program is ranked #10 in the nation. Their full-time program is ranked using different metrics and is quite a bit lower, though the curriculum is the same.
