<p>Hi! I just got waitlisted at SMU today. My SAT was 1870 (660-M, 650-W, 550-CR), 3.96 W GPA, many APs and Honors classes, great essay, recommendations, and ECs. I know that SMU is a good school, however, I thought my stats matched up pretty well. I've been accepted to Tulane already, which has more rigorous stats in my opinion, so was this just the luck of the draw or what? Why didn't I get in?:( SMU isn't my top choice, but I am now a little worried because USC IS one of my top choices, and it's MUCH harder to get in to than SMU....</p>
<p>Yeah, you’re stats seem okay. Maybe SAT is a bit low. Who knows? At least you have Tulane in your back pocket. GL</p>
<p>It was a very competitive applicant pool this year! Tulane is a great school. Good luck with USC!</p>
<p>Hmm yeah. Thanks guys! :)</p>
<p>Did you get into USC?</p>
