We find exact solutions for N=2 supersymmetric SO(N), N=7,9,10,11,12 gauge theories with matter in the fundamental and spinor representation. These theories, with specific numbers of vectors and spinors, arise naturally in the compactification of type IIA string theory on suitably chosen Calabi-Yau threefolds. Exact solutions are obtained by using mirror symmetry to find the corresponding type IIB compactification. We propose generalizations of these results to cases with arbitrary numbers of massive vectors and spinors.
