SMU 2010!

[chrisokc]

I got a letter saying I was not selected for the Sumners.

Sorry to hear that. But thanks for sharing the info! I'll be on the look out for mine.

It gives me a nice chip to put on my shoulder.

Any luck by anyone negotiating for more money? I need a little bit more to turn down some other schools for SMU.

Welcome to the club. On a brighter note, it's almost time for the ASD.

Hey guys, here's some information that I gathered today from the SMU admissions office (and for the record, they were very helpful and polite):

(a) Apparently SMU has not admitted any daytime Regular Decision students just yet. Hope to have decisions by the end of April, but hopefully sooner. They are experiencing a high application volume, no surprise. I was complete beginning of February and am currently under review, so there is movement.

(b) If you are up for the Sarah Hughes scholarship, communications regarding that will come from the Dallas Bar Association, not SMU.

So there's nothing to do at this point but sit back, open a Shiner, and try to relax for now. Hopefully we will hear back soon.

Good to know. So looks like my late completion due to FebLSAT won't kill my chances after all.

This is what I was told as well but it is a blatant lie. I have had two friends who went complete during the last week of January. The first had a 169, 3.3 and was given $25k a year and the second had a 165, 2.6 and was given $16k a year.

Out of everyone who has applied to SMU that I know, I haven't come across anyone who has been accepted RD without at least a 165. On LSAC's SMU report the chart reads that every applicant for last year's cycle with a 165 or higher, regardless of GPA, was admitted. I believe that everyone who has been accepted RD was given a scholarship as well.

I don't know how SMU expects to dick around thousands of applicants who don't have a 165 until the end of April and make us waste money on seat deposits for schools that are our second choice.

Shiner

non-texan residents are scratching their heads. shiner rules!

Non-Texans are damn communists. Except for the mighty fine men and women reviewing my applications in various states. Those are fine Americans.

care to share your numbers and when you went complete?

[Gunners87]

I thought a bunch of regular decision FT had been accepted? I went complete end of January and was accepted then, I'm sure other people were too. Not sure admissions is being too truthful...

[Stephanie13]

Some of the above is not true. I applied full time regular decision and I was admitted in February. My LSAT is also below 165 so I don't know if all of that is right.

165, 2.6? Sorry, but that makes me want to hurl. God damnit.

3.72/160- I went complete on February 1st. Some WE

Did you apply in December? If you were close to the ED deadline, maybe they considered you ED. Or if you were complete by their "must be complete by" deadline.

I applied mid-December and went complete in early January. I thought I was pretty far past their EA deadline.

[utcris410]

Maybe it was based on your submission date.

Did the admissino packet say when orientation is and/or when classes begin? I'm at work - just curious if anyone had this info handy.
