SMU Class of 2017 EA/RD Discussion Thread

<p>I received a very nice red envelope from SMU today congratulating me on my acceptance. I was quite impressed by the presentation of the admission since most schools I know simply send a generic letter. I applied RD as well.</p>

<p>How did you find that out MZainab?</p>

<p>007math, did you recieve scholarship information as well?</p>

<p>I did recieve scholarship information. Was awarded Second Century Scholarship. Any idea when PS invitations go out for RD? </p>

<p>I just got my acceptance letter this weekend. I recieved a second century scholarship. Still not enough for such an expensive school though. Does anyone know when they announce the hunts scholarship finalists?</p>

<p>@bcasper14- Last year SMU accepted 20% of the students they deferred.</p>

<p>@007math- PS invites should go out to those you applied RD by the end of the month.</p>

<p>@gilmourgirl101- Acceptances letters for those who applied RD have begun to go out. The admissions office hopes to have gotten back to everyone who applied by the end of March.</p>

<p>Congrats to all the new baby Mustangs! Hope to see y’all PONYing Up in the fall :)</p>

<p>I got my acceptance letter on the 12th :smiley: I’m from Pakistan!
@SMUgirl16 UPS sent me an email which gave me details about a “packet” sent from the SMU undergrad office, so I figured it has to be the decision letter!
@Unseen Congratulations! I’ve just gotten the Founder’s scholarship… And I totally agree with you.</p>

<p>I got a letter in the mail today that said I was selected as a finalist for the Presidential Scholars! Seems like they’ve sent out decisions on that </p>

<p>Thanks :slight_smile: And good luck to you!!</p>

<p>My daughter got a big black envelope today for the Meadows scholarship. 5000 per year for Art, so proud of her! That makes 20k but still not enough. I think she still has a few more avenues though. :)</p>

<p>Did any one else get a PS scholarship invite? I didnt :frowning: Im assuming they sent out invites for everyone in the Dallas/ Ft Worth area…</p>

<p>Ohh and 007math was it a letter or a package??? Previous recipients on CC have stated that they send a huge package in the mail so I am quite shocked you got a letter only.</p>

<p>I received a large envelope package the day after with more details about interview day. </p>

<p>May i ask your stats? I wish I got it but since I live in Ft worth and I havent gotten anything yet I doubt I will. Was kinda hoping for it tho :(</p>
