<p>We were fortunate our D was accepted.</p>

<p>At our D's high school, which has been a solid feeder for SMU, there were far fewer kids accepted and numerous students that were outright rejected. We do not know the academic credentials of the students who were rejected, but it would stand to reason that SMU is increasing its selectivity this year based on fewer offers of admission we have seen this year.</p>

<p>Anyone else seeing similar trends at their high schools?</p>

<p>It is true SMU’s admission rate is dropping. It has dropped below 50%, so you are absolutely right that SMU is increasing its selectivity.</p>

<p>how many get deferred? what are their chances of getting in?</p>
