Possible Jan/Spring 2013 Incoming Student: Current Student Contacts/Questions?

Hello everyone. I have been accepted into the upcoming 2013 Spring semester class.

Filtering through the grit in this forum is ridiculous. It's either just incredibly negative viewpoints or positive posts (with negative commentators accusing these posters of being disguised administration posers or something of the sort). I haven't submitted my papers to reserve my seat yet, and truthfully I am hesitant.

I want to believe that hard work and diligence will push my through the rough changes in the basic sciences and clinicals, but honestly, congrats to the naysayers of SMU for successfully freaking me out so far.

I was just wondering if there are any students from 2011/2012 or whenever the new curriculum for the basic sciences began, for me to talk to. I would just like to ask you guys a few questions about the curriculum, the island, the faculty, etc. without getting polar outside opinions and straying off topic. That said, I would like some honest opinions (good, bad, everything really) so if you can, please drop me a message here on this forum. I sincerely appreciate it!
