[bound]

I applied last cycle, have a 172, and could not negotiate. But you should try, you never know.

In this case, cheers to luck! (see my avatar pic)

Bound did you send in a deposit yet or are you waiting on T14/UT?

[FairchildFLT]

Checking in. Still waiting on UT after that administrative error ding, but SMU has a good Yellow Ribbon program so why not.

Waiting..... :/ So emotionless about the whole thing, really. I haven't even been neurotically checking my status checkers! lol. Hoping for some good money from T14 though. What about you? You retook right?

I haven't been checking my statuses at all... I had to apply late cuz of unforeseen circumstances, but I'm hoping SMU gives me $$$ so I can just live at home! UT wouldn't be bad with a little cash either. T 14 is out for me due to finances unfortunately...

I just got my new LSAT score, but my GPA is so bad. Literally a 3.2. I'm really worried that alone won't get me money from SMU even above median for LSAT

Question for the admitted students. Has anyone been able to find the admitted students facebook page that was referenced in the acceptance package? I tried typing in the group name exactly as it was listed in the letter and added subtle changes for more searches but can't find it. What might I be missing?

[BVest]

I suspect you seek this: SMU Dedman Law 2015-2016 Admitted Students

[Fixed.]

Thanks B. That looks like the page for last cycle but I requested to join anyway...maybe the admin will point me in the right direction. If not, I'll send an email next week.

[BVest]

You're right... my bad. But that title definitely points you in the right direction.

[TX_UH]

Indeed. The letter said to include "School of" in the search term, which is not in the page title. That was the problem. Thanks!

[Afterparty]

Current 1L here.

162/3.74. Took the LSAT 3 times and applied early Jan and heard back around March with 30k/Yr Good Standing. Feel free to hit me with any questions, happy to help! PM or just post on here.

[ilikebaseball]

Might be visiting Dallas within the next few weeks. Can anyone point me to places to go for some good restaurants, good bars, etc.?

Tons of places to go. It depends what district you'll be near. As for restaurants close to SMU, usually Uptown will be where you are directed. However, there are a number of really nice, 5 star restaurants across high way 75 on Greenville Avenue. SMU is sorta in the middle of two major highways: 75 and DNT (Dallas Tollway) so if you go the opposite way, towards the tollway, there are some brazilian steakhouse places that I like. However, literally a block away from campus is this German place called Kuby's. I personally believe its the best breakfast I've had since I've lived here (18 years) so try it in the morning. Kuby's in the morning, torchy's (a tad bit overrated taco place near campus) for lunch, then make your pick for dinner depending on which district you're in.

Tl;dr: Whataburger

Thanks for the advice, I will definitely check those out. I also hear that the consensus for bars is uptown district as well?
