Anybody heard back from SMU? Forum

[screech]

No updates over the weekend for me, but my status did change today to decision rendered. Anybody else hear anything?

I'm "decision rendered" 1/30. Must have just changed, cause I checked earlier today. HOping to get some mail today. I'm not far from Dallas.

Mine changed as well. Hopefully it is good news.

Sounds like it probably is...

Changed to "Decision Rendered 1/30" today, but no phone call. Rejected?

[OnlySMU4Me]

I have the decision rendered as well. I'm thinking it is a denial. Unless the letter says waitlisted. But wouldn't the checker say deferred if that was the case? The other acceptances just had their date change, not status. That's why I'm assuming its a denial.

+1.

I applied to both, but when my status changed on the 28th, I went from JD to JD Evening (not sure what that meant). Then apparently on the 30th, it changed to "decision rendered"

Mine is the same way. I'm waiting for mail. Should come any minute...watching from the window. Sad. Sad. Sad.

So did mine

Well, let us know what you get, but try not to pounce on the mailman

[bcb1986]

Fort what it's worth, I don't think any part time acceptances were notified over the phone last week. I only recall full time decisions going out. Don't worry too much!

i applied for part-time only.

nothing in my snail mail today and i'm in dallas.

I'm not sure which is worse:

1. Standing by the mailbox and being proud of being pathetic or


2. Sprinting to the mailbox as he's driving off.

Not trying to let anyone down, but my friend who is a 1L said she applied to the Part Time program...and she got a phone call. Letter came later. So I don't know if that letter is a good thing.

Yeah but this year's cycle is looking drastically different than this years...the US News has turned this admissions process on its head...

How so? Did I miss something in the US News rankings?

They are ranking Part-Time Programs now...so as a result schools are likely to become more selective and pick those with higher numbers instead of those who would be a better fit for their schools, like people who live and work in Dallas etc...

Gotcha, but we don't know those rankings yet, right?

[OasisFan]

no we don't, they are coming out with this years Law School Rankings...

[jtw1386]

Well I just looked on LSN, and one person got rejected and the status was for today about an hour ago

[OnlySMU4Me]

I think I got denied as well...hence, no phone call. But there is always next year. And hopefully the economy is better by then. I think its lame that some people are just great at taking standardized tests and the adcomm just look for that to get their rankings up.

Exact same, here, but my date was the 30th.
