SMU C/O 2017 (2013-2014 Applicants)
Submitted my application last night so thought I'd kick things off for SMU. Any other applicants out there?

1L at SMU. If you have any questions, just ask. If I can answer with my limited time here, I will.

The earliest of the deadlines is November 1st, right? Did you just have everything in your app ready to go and are done with editing/rewriting?AT9 wrote:Submitted my application last night so thought I'd kick things off for SMU. Any other applicants out there?

Not sure, but could be. My e-mail from SMU said today that people who submit by the ED deadline would hear back with a decision in late January...kinda late for early decision.ScottRiqui wrote:The earliest of the deadlines is November 1st, right?

Checking in! Very excited about SMU. Done a number of visits and love it there. Given my numbers, I think I'll have a much better shot at money than at UT. Also, I'm not a Texas resident which unfortunately works against me with the state schools. Thankfully it won't be an issue with SMU since it is private.

SMU still hasn't updated their medians for your class. I know some of the schools told their students the medians at their orientation. Did they happen to tell y'all what the medians are?slayerhn wrote:1L at SMU. If you have any questions, just ask. If I can answer with my limited time here, I will.

Anyone else want to weigh in on what length they are using for the "Why SMU?" essay? In the directions, it says to write a "brief paragraph," but at the end of the directions it says "no longer than 1 page." What the eff SMU?

What's good? Current senior at Michigan. Submitting my app on Monday. Had the chance to walk around campus a few hours ago, looked great.

Quick question, I tried to solicit a merit-based fee waiver and they replied asking for a reason for the fee waiver. Anyone experience this? Anyone have any ideas how I should respond? I already gave them my stats so I don't know what else to say.

They sent me the same reply, then the next day I received a waiver email. I never responded to their inquiry about why I was asking for a waiver.Winston1984 wrote:Quick question, I tried to solicit a merit-based fee waiver and they replied asking for a reason for the fee waiver.

I sent them an email asking for a fee waiver (not merit-based), and they sent me one. Not sure why they're giving you such a hard time.Winston1984 wrote:Quick question, I tried to solicit a merit-based fee waiver and they replied asking for a reason for the fee waiver.

My stats are 164/3.6X if that helps. I feel like they are competitive enough for a waiver. I'll wait a few days like Ox did, and if they don't just send one I'll just reiterate my stats I guess.jts723 wrote:I sent them an email asking for a fee waiver (not merit-based), and they sent me one.

I'm sitting at 162/3.4, so if I got a fee waiver, I feel like you definitely should have!Winston1984 wrote:My stats are 164/3.6X if that helps. I feel like they are competitive enough for a waiver.

I asked for a fee waiver for being a Vet and they replied asking what my financial hardship was or something like that.. it was a while ago.
Seriously? What are you waiting for?
Now there's a charge.
