I applied ED and live in the northeast, nothing here yet! I heard ED is by mail this year.
Anyone have an update as to when ED1 comes out?
ED should come out before EA, right?
Yes, last year ED came out two days before EA
Did anyone else get an email from SMU Dedman College saying Happy Holidays? I’m gonna laugh/cry if I don’t get in after they send an email like that. #recruitmentemail
Also, decisions have to come out before December 23rd because the school will be closed from then to January 2 and their promised decision date is the 31st of December.
Maybe they’re releasing them all the same day this year instead? Any ED people see any changes on their portal?
@rayosunshyne last year Dedman sent out holiday emails/cards around the same time admission decisions were gonna be posted according to the EA/ED 2021 thread
Have any of y’alls portal statuses changed? Mine continues to say my application was processed or something along that dated November 1st. (I applied EA and everything was on time before November 1st)
My son applied EA to SMU. Please forgive my ignorance, but when you mention SMU’s portal are you just talking about the page you get linked to when you submit your application? When my son submitted his application via the common app, he got a link to a page that says “Application Status for XXX.” It has an app checklist and lists what SMU has received. Is this the portal? Is there something else he needs to be logged into?
Yes the page with the app checklist is the portal. It’s basically just you’re personal application status.
Thank you!
@janamy Sorry for the confusion, the application checklist was what my post was referring to. Has anyone’s changed from the initial, “application was received” notification
Mine hasn’t changed unfortunately. I just find it interesting that they won’t give a specific date since it should be coming up pretty soon.
I️ called SMU admissions this morning and they said decisions would be coming out in the next “week or two”
My counselor got an email that says they are aiming to release decisions Friday at 7 pm cst. I think they are getting released all at once
@brytinstaab tomorrow or next Friday?
tomorrow…some have already been mailed per admissions office today
Yes the implication was that they will be posted the 15th. I still think it is strange that there was no comment on their social media and no email sent out regarding this possible notification date.
My sisters go there and only one Ed-ed and she got an email the 8th saying her exact time and day that she would get her decision, but I have gotten nothing like that!
