<p>My Daughter was so excited when she got her acceptance letter yesterday. She loved SMU when we toured it last summer and she’s looking forward to a warm winter. We live in Wisconsin!! She got the Founder’s scholarship!!!</p>
<p>aghh! I’m in seattle for christmas and have NO idea if I got my letter back in new york or not! we have a friend going over to get our mail later… fingers crossed that they arrived today!!</p>
<p>In the acceptance letter it is meant to just say “accepted to SMU” not the specific college right? I applied for the lyle school of engineering but my acceptance letter doesnt mention that. is this the way it is supposed to be?</p>
<p>You apply to SMU, not to specific colleges. Congrats everyone!</p>
<p>What are the chances of getting in with test scores below the average 50%? I am a bad standardized test taker. My gpa on a 4.0 scale is a 3.9 and I am super involved. I have quite a bit of leadership roles and an abundant amount of volunteer hours.</p>
<p>Mid Atlantic response received yesterday. Accepted with a Provost Scholarship.</p>
<p>Nothing from SMU today in NJ–ugh!! What a stressful holiday not knowing. 
I can’t quite determine the logic of the notifications…other than to observe those who have heard are receiving high end scholarships…so perhaps those are being sent first, with other acceptances to follow?? Remaining positive!!!</p>
<p>Don’t worry Nova88, I am in the same boat in Arizona. Four of my friends have been accepted and I have heard nothing. Hard to stay positive when you see those around you already receiving their acceptances, but I am keeping my fingers crossed. SMU is my first choice.</p>
<p>Nothing again in CT! We just have to hang in there, and stay positive! But its so hard to wait…</p>
<p>AZ, good attitude! 
Did your 4 friends all receive scholarships? I am starting to convince myself that is the logic LOL</p>
<p>And what about the non-acceptance and the deferrals? Wouldn’t those go out this week as well? And yet we’ve heard nothing about those…</p>
<p>Daughter just called admissions office: responses are being sent out in RANDOM order through the end of next week!</p>
<p>Hang in there guys - Merry Christmas!</p>
<p>SanFranMom, thank your daughter for us LOL</p>
<p>Happy Holidays to all.</p>
<p>No idea on the scholarships Nova88–a little too personal for me to ask. Thanks SanFranMom for the info. Keep the faith. Happy Holidays!!</p>
<p>Another day in NJ, no mail from SMU. Anyone else hear today?</p>
<p>Nothing from SMU in our mailbox today either.</p>
<p>still nothing in the houston area :/</p>
<p>Nothing in Southern California either! I’m worried they sent it to my boarding school instead of home address… I wouldn’t mind if it was an acceptance but something about the mail lady or my college counselor telling me over the phone about a rejection would be horrid!</p>
<p>Wow, thanks SMU…make sure my kid gets her deferral on Christmas Eve. Merry Christmas to you too.</p>
<p>Couldn’t have waited until Monday to send it? huh?</p>
<p>:/ nothing yet! And I’m sorry to hear that ^^^^^ </p>
