Re: SMU 2010!
So none of the FT that went DR yesterday received phone calls today? Is this a good sign or a bad sign? I am thinking it is bad.
I hate this. Especially since it is such a long shot.

Here is my story, take it as you will, I hope you get the call though:
4/12: status checker displayed DR with timestamp as 4/13. I was excited.
4/13-4/14: no rejection email as I was under the impression rejections came via email immediately. Excitement/hope continued.
4/15: no phone call. I was confused since other admitted students received the call 1-2 days after DR.
4/17: I was kicked in the groin as I found a tiny envelope in the mail.
I posted my stats in previous post. I didn't mention that I received both my BS and MS degrees from SMU. Pretty sure this hindered me but I may never know the exact reason. It makes my decision to go to Houston a lot easier though and I think the change in universities will be good for me. I'm done on this thread. Good luck future ponies - enjoy the winning football team since they were pretty awful when I attended haha.

My app hasn't been touched since it went complete on 2/16. I am not sure what to make of this. Anybody have any insights?

Re: SMU 2010!
They haven't made decisions on FT yet- they are in the process of doing so. I'm still stuck at complete on 2/3, and I know others are still stuck at "held for further review" from early decision applicants.jgrin wrote:My app hasn't been touched since it went complete on 2/16.

Re: SMU 2010!
OK, so I just spoke to a girl in the admissions office and she told me that yesterday they admitted some PT but only sent out FT denials. That leaves me believing that since I am FT and got the DR on 4/19 that I am going to get a denial. She said that no wait lists were sent yesterday. Don't want to be the bearer of bad tidings, but I am freaking out about this news and wanted to share it, albeit bad news. Sorry for everyone else in my shoes. I am still praying that she was confused about it. But I had asked if everyone was getting calls who were admitted FT and she said nobody was admitted FT yesterday, only PT, and some people got calls, and others should be expecting denials.

Re: SMU 2010!
Also, I know you are going to ask my stats, so they are:
LSAT 158
GPA 3.2
I probably shouldn't even have applied, but my whole life I wanted to attend SMU Dedman Law as I love the campus and Dallas, now I have to go to Kansas, sh-t!

they shouldn't be allowed to give out that kind of details over the phone, so maybe its not true

I wondered the same but it seems like I remember posts from last years cycle mentioning the release of similar information over the phone.helpmerhonda wrote:they shouldn't be allowed to give out that kind of details over the phone, so maybe its not true

Re: SMU 2010!
well I hope its not true because I really want to go to SMU and maybe the girl didnt explain it correctly but I know what I heard, and it was distressing to hear that only PT people got admitted while FT got denied and no WL from that day's DR, so we'll have to see if she was telling it like it is, or hopefully not!

Re: SMU 2010!
Do you have to start in the fall, or could you possibly work for a year and apply next cycle? If you don't really want to go to Kansas, retaking the LSAT and reapplying might be a good idea.

Re: SMU 2010!
I could never take the LSAT again, I will go to Kansas if the SMU news is bad, but thanks for the sympathy and advice. I'm just going to plow through this next 3 years and hopefully I'll get into where I'm going and make the best of it, I have to. I'll see what comes in the mail, and go from there!
