There has been no status date on mine for several days as well.

Does anyone know if its possible to ask them to push back my deposit deadline? I was accepted only a week ago but my deposit is due April 1st. Im still waiting to hear from other schools but I don't want them to take away my seat and scholarship. Any advice?? Thanks!

Cool. I also live near UTD. Did you receive a phone call or e-mail when you were admitted? Ive seen some postings where people get phone calls.
I got a phone call, but my status changed before I got the call, so I was expecting it.

Cool. My LSAT is near the 25% for SMU but my GPA is at the 75 mark but I wrote an LSAT addendum and a good personal statement so I'm hoping I get in. Ive been accepted into other good law schools (Maryland, Colorado-Boulder, Texas Tech) but I am holding out for smu.

Waiting still sucks..
Ironically, Maryland took longer to answer me than SMU (above 75th, at the 25th GPA). But you'll be alright. Check lawschoolnumbers.com for a better look at your chances and if you'll get any $$

Great. I checked the stats. I called Admissions on Wednesday and told them I had been accepted into a lot of law schools but they were my first choice and Dallas was my home. They said they would get back to me before April 1st when any of my deposits at other schools were due.

ASD was pretty fun today, although I think most of you opted for the one in April

Went to ASD Friday and liked SMU a lot. Putting down my deposit next week! Hope everyone who is going to the later ASD likes it as well.

I am planning on going to the April 10th ASD. Does anyone know the etiquette of bringing a spouse? I thought I might ask admissions, but I didn't want them just to say yes if it isn't really acceptable. Has anyone brought their spouse?

You can. I saw a few at the last ASD.

I asked about an extension a week ago and they do not grant them. good luck!

Does the status checker ever go "in review" ? I have been sitting at complete since 2/25...starting to worry a bit

At this point I'm thinking that more decisions will come after the deposit deadline passes so they have an idea of who is already enrolling.

Went to the ASD on the 27th and brought my wife. Just let the office know you will be bringing them and it shouldn't be an issue. Also, there were a few folks who brought their folks!

When is the deposit deadline?

April 1st and then May 15th

Don't forget to reserve your spots people!

BigCityDreams · Post by **BigCityDreams** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 7:32 pm

Well hopefully after this week of deposits I will hear back from admissions...

ilikebaseball · Post by **ilikebaseball** » Mon Mar 30, 2015 7:34 pm

Really nervous for tomorrow, cuz I'm sure that's when all of us will be hearing about our scholly negotiations. Not really expecting anything from SMU though... I know its a new dean, but maybe they say "this is the first year we've ever reconsidered merit amounts" every year just so they don't have to tell us "we rarely change the amount"

quick question, did anyone else write on their reconsideration? I sent them other offers, but I also sent a separate email about increasing my LSAT score as well

LVbucknell · Post by **LVbucknell** » Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:15 pm

No increase. Will be withdrawing

BasilHallward · Post by **BasilHallward** » Tue Mar 31, 2015 3:47 pm

This is the eleventh hour with respect to negotiations. I sent my appeal for reconsideration three weeks ago. Maybe they can be pushed after the deadline as well. I heard from them back in January that this cycle is LOW.

ilikebaseball · Post by **ilikebaseball** » Tue Mar 31, 2015 4:08 pm

Not withdrawing but dang SMU. Get with the curve. No increase here either

What time did you guys get your e-mails about your scholarship negotiations? Still waiting and it's driving me a little crazy!!!

Same, no increase. Will be depositing though.
