SMU 2010! Forum

Well I know how some of you hate me, but I have slit my wrists and my bff helped me. The dreaded snail mail rejection came in yesterday's mail. After I got out of the ER I made permanent plans to attend U of Kansas. I am off this board and wish you all the best at SMU.

Say what you will about SMU admissions, but they did manage to filter out this individual.

Indeed. Even though everyone ripped me to shreds for calling 'this individual' out last week...no worries; it's all good!

I was behind you. I think admissions did us all a big favor. We don't need the added pressure of a potential (probable?) shooting spree.

I also am playing the waiting game.. but i have very slim chances...
I've been held for review since 1/28. and it says I should find out by the end of april.. This week is my finals week and I think i'm more focused on my status checker and this board than my studies..

[tsub]

That's strange--we have almost identical numbers and I received a decision 4/19. I guess the biggest difference is you did PT/FT?

Another nugget from the prospective student seminar, Keehan said the LORs were "the least important part of the application." Since the admissions committee expects most LORs to be very positive and complimentary, one that isn't really sticks out and negatively affects the applicant.

Yes I agree with that-- but I have heard that if you have an LOR from VIP tied to SMU law then they weigh more than a normal LOR would.

[tarheel354]

Just called up there, ppl with DR on 4/22 dont worry. They told me they were "very behind on making the congratulatory phone calls".

[da87]

Did they say anything else about decisions this week?

Did they mention if the essay was that important? I feel almost certain that this, combined with my specific work history, is what got me in.
