SMU Dedman Law c/o 18 Applicants Forum

[thisiswater]

Has anyone ever heard from someone who has gone through the Sumners interview process? It seems to be rather mysterious. Also, does anyone know the timeline for selection and that sort of thing?

Honestly I have no idea what the process is. I know that the last two years it was given at the end of March, but other than that I don't know much.

Look in the class of 2016 thread. I think someone detailed it out in there. I don't have time to look right now but if no one finds it I will search this weekend.

Nothing today. Anyone else?

just sitting here twiddling my thumbs.. Complete since 1/13, havent heard anything either

Sorry to hear that. Complete 1/20 myself, so I guess I need to be more patient. It's just a little disheartening when you know you have the #'s and have poured your heart into a personal statement. I wonder if anyone who went complete before you is still waiting.

Top 1/3 for Sumners. Other scholarships at SMU are good standing.

Just got the scholarship reconsideration form. You can tell how little they budge just by the text on the form.... they basically say "SMU does NOT negotiate and does NOT reoffer based on other school's offers. But, if you wanna spend the time to make copies of your other offers, you can send them to us."

[kalvano]

"Please let us know what our competitors are offering so we know right about how much to offer to people."

There's a scholarship reconsideration form? Is this something on the site or do you email them and ask? Can I just scan and email them another offer?

I just sent a typical scholarship negotiation email

[cutieluby]

my status date disappeared.... anyone else? Still complete

My date disappeared today, hopefully that means there is movement and a decision is coming soon (preferably accepted haha)... When baseballs status date disappeared it was still around 5 days to get a decision, so I am thinking within the week

[indypup]

Anyone thinking of depositing soon?

[Pho king]

Yea, my date has disappeared as well.

[txlg689]

Congratulations . Just got a phone call informing me of my admission!

[ilikebaseball]

congrats guys! Hopefully you can all go to ASD on the 29th!

About to, in a very failing manner, submit my scholarship reconsideration form....

[BasilHallward]

Status checker reads "admitted" as of yesterday. No call, no email. Waiting on scholly info. They better be willing to play ball with offer GOOD offers in a down year. What is this I hear of a "scholarship reconsideration form"? Is this something formal from their site or just a personal inquiry?

They're not going to "play ball." They do have a reconsideration request form you can fill out, but according to administration I've asked about it they don't generally up anyone's offer. It obviously can't hurt to try, but don't expect much from it. Unless you're fortunate enough to get a Sumners, you're gonna have to stick with what they initially offer you.

I am not wanting them to "up" any offers, just match offers from higher ranked schools. SMU is great, but expensive and stingy on scholarship, from what I hear.

Where can one find this reconsideration form??

That's what I meant, don't plan on them matching anyone's offer from what I've heard here and experienced so far.

I asked admissions if they had a matching or negotiating policy and they sent me a form to fill out and return.

They do not typically match, whether its a higher-ranked school or a lower-ranked one. However, they generally make a pretty good offer up front. Not sure where you heard they are stingy.

Yeah, not negotiating ≠ stingy. They make what they feel is a good offer to star with (and they tend to be good) and then don't move. Think of it like the no-haggle car dealers. No "I'll have to check with my manager" BS.
