I applied to SMU for the fall of 2015. I was accepted and I am really interested in studying in the business school. However I was not offered an invitation into the BBA Scholars program or Business Direct. I still want to study in the business school but will not getting an invitation hurt me when I look for a job or being able to succeed in the business school? Or can I be just as great or even better than some of the kids that were offered an invitation into the BBA scholars program?
As far as the BBA Scholars and BBA Direct offers, if you commit to SMU, there is still a chance you will be offered one of those auto admits. I know several students who were offered BBA Scholar or BBA Direct in May and June once the business school knew how many slots they had open.
Your success at SMU is up to you. Get involved on campus, maintain a high GPA, network and make the most of the opportunities presented to you, and you will have excellent internship and job opportunities.
Best of luck!
