It appears as though those whose status's changed to "Decision Rendered" prob will get a call today, and the rest of us are gonna be on the outside looking in unfortunately.

Oasis: What is your basis for making an assumption like that? Because one person said their status changed? I'm just curious as to what would make you think something like that...

OasisFan · Post by **OasisFan** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 12:41 pm

Its not an an assumption...its just speculation. Frankly if SMU wanted us don't you think they would have done something by now?? Look at LSN and see that clearly after a certain date in late April, every applicant has recieved a waitlist letter pretty much. I don't think it's unreasonable to think that we are all waitlisted at this point barring some unforseen mass change in our collective status checkers

Well I don't know....it seems like this cycle has been pretty weird compared to the past. While I am not expecting to be outright admitted...was just wondering the connection you drew with the status checker...

Went to Decision Rendered today...oh the agony.

I spoke with someone from the admissions office the other day, and he mentioned that they had never had this many people accept offers and pay the initial deposit. He expects many people to begin withdrawing after the next 2 deposit dates on May 15 and June 1. I think that everyone should not give up hope; it just seems like they were caught totally off guard this cycle.

interesting but is that with regards to only the FT program? or also the PT program.

I was admitted for PT and told them my name when I called, so I assume it is also for PT admissions (sorry, I didn't ask him to specify).

Decision rendered today. I am a guaranteed rejection though.

OasisFan · Post by **OasisFan** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 2:24 pm

At least SMU is showing signs of life in the Admissions office!

soccerchick47 · Post by **soccerchick47** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 2:36 pm

Anyone else have any status checker changes? They seem to be trickling in sooo slowly....

Ok just called and was told that they are sending out decisions through the end of next week. I was told they were inundated with applications and are running behind schedule...

smuwannab · Post by **smuwannab** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 3:23 pm

did they check on your status or just give you a generic response

i got decision rendered today as well and it is taking everything i have not to call

Rachyk · Post by **Rachyk** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 3:25 pm

No just a general response, I did not even ask for any info regarding my app. since my status checker has still not changed.

smuwannab · Post by **smuwannab** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 3:27 pm

do u think my app would make it to the trash can if i called - knowing my luck it would. Patience is a virtue for sure

soccerchick47 · Post by **soccerchick47** » Thu Apr 30, 2009 3:28 pm

It's not like they haven't had plenty of time to work on these applications. They have a calendar, they knew when April 30th was coming up, and they picked it as their deadline. I hope they can get most of them out today. Maybe I shouldn't be annoyed, but I am. I just want to know!
