I visited about a week ago. Always knew SMU was a beautiful place, and I was still blown away. I love Downtown Dallas.

Its good for Dallas too. Its campus is stunning. I drive by it everyday and it never gets old. Probably the nicest college campus in Texas and any surrounding states.

Re: SMU Dedman Law c/o 18 Applicants
I thought for sure I wanted to get a job in NYC. The more I look I would be happy in Dallas. Still hope I can keep Chicago and NYC on the Table though. SMU is a solid choice for Dallas. People sleep on them a little bit I think. They should be higher on the rankings.choward014 wrote:Its good for Dallas too. Its campus is stunning. I drive by it everyday and it never gets old.

Re: SMU Dedman Law c/o 18 Applicants
exactly. I've always said that for how well it places in Dallas and how nice the facilities are, its one of the most underrated law schools that there is. Great reputation around here.Dream_weaver32 wrote:I thought for sure I wanted to get a job in NYC. The more I look I would be happy in Dallas.

Not a large firm (spent a minute at one). Mainly do a blend of real estate and tech work now, like cell tower leases and negotiations, that sort of thing.

As long as your GPA starts with a 3 and you're around 162 or better, you can generally count on being in at SMU.

Re: SMU Dedman Law c/o 18 Applicants
A few years back, you needed around a 164 or 165 to be safe. Their LSAT requirement has dropped a few points, it seems, with declining applications.should-i-do-it wrote:is this specific to this cycle or always, i was waitlisted a few years back with a 3.2/162kalvano wrote:As long as your GPA starts with a 3 and you're around 162 or better, you can generally count on being in at SMU.

Re: SMU Dedman Law c/o 18 Applicants
Sweet, what do you think the chances of getting money with a 162 are though. How much debt, if any, would you be willing to go into for SMU, also does anyone know when the app opens up?kalvano wrote:A few years back, you needed around a 164 or 165 to be safe.

Re: SMU Dedman Law c/o 18 Applicants
I don't know what the chances are at money anymore, when I got in, 164 was the minimum for a good scholarship. You'll have to browse LSN and the previous year's thread for money chances.

Nice, guess this means I've got a decent shot of getting with with money! Any guesses on what medians will end up being for your class?
