In my admission packet, there was something about CoA and it listed tuition and then a separate category of "fees" that was almost $5k per year, so maybe that's it.

I've wondered what constituted the fees as well.

wondering the same thing, does this fee include health insurance? I believe health insurance is another 2000$.

SMU overestimates the COL. Fees include your parking pass, gym membership, costs of Westlaw / Lexis, etc. Health insurance may be counted in the estimate, but that is a separate expense ($900 per semester if bought through the school's program).

Hey, that's my plan, too! It's worth a shot I suppose. Are you just going to email admissions?

Call them and respectfully ask if they can PDF you a copy.

FWIW I was admitted early March and received scholarship information the same week (live in Dallas).

It seems they may be waiting until the deadline to see how many spots they have to fill...

Checking last year's thread it looks as if decisions were released 4/5, 4/10, 4/17 and a couple on 5/1.

Well it would definitely be nice, if they came out at a pace like that.
