Thought I would start a thread since ED and EA decisions should be out soon. Does anyone have any changes on their portals?
From Colgate: decisions will be released on December 13 for ED 1
Anyone know when ED decisions will be posted?
Hey y’all, I’m from Austin, TX… if that changes anything on admissions notification.
Anyways, I️ was looking at the ED/EA thread for SMU 2021 and they said admissions notification went out Dec. 14th for ED and Dec. 16th for EA which was Wednesday and Friday respectively. I’m assuming if they are to follow the same pattern, 2022 should get theirs on the 13th and 15th? That’s all speculation of course. Also, I️ read somewhere that the status portal can take 2 full weeks to reflect the stage your application is in their review process. (Mine hasn’t changed from my initial fee waiver on November 1st)
I️ applied EA with a 3.26 GPA, 1300 SAT, majority AP or Honors Courses, successful debate background, and several leadership extracurriculars… academically I’m below average on what SMU wants but my extracurriculars and letters of reccomendation are above average I️ think.
I️ hope this helped/put your mind at ease slightly. Good luck to everyone, I’m sincerely hoping y’all get the letter you want in the mail!!
Thanks @jimmycounihan It sounds like we have to wait to receive something in the mail then, meaning we are two weeks away. I believe it’s a big red or blue envelope.
@Living61 I believe they post it online first and then send it out in the mail, info on additional scholarships/opportunities come 1-2 weeks after the initial admission decision.

Does anyone know if we hear back Friday?
Has SMU admission posted anything on social media?
Nope, SMU admissions, SMU, and SMU Dedman haven’t posted anything relating to acceptance letters on twitter.
I called today and they said sometime between Dec. 15-31. 
My older son applied to TCU and SMU a few years back. Based upon how those notifications went out, TCU should be out on Friday and SMU will be out mid-to-late next week.
Cox told me first round business direct out right before Christmas and they need about a week after regular admissions go out. I bet it is he 15th
Just called the admissions office, the lady said they have not released an official date of when it will be coming out yet.
OMG…This waiting is driving me bananas. My daughter applied EA and SMU is her 1st choice. We called and was told the same thing “have not released an official date yet.”
It’ll probably be after the 15th since they haven’t released a date yet… right?
They actually extended their deadline to nov 10 this year because of the natural disasters, so that may account for another week before they release decisions.
If any ED applicants get their admission decision today will y’all update us?
Apparently there is not a specific notification date yet
I applied ED and live in the northeast, nothing here yet! I heard ED is by mail this year.
