<p>Judging from pictures on Twitter, the letters went out on the 13th. In a suburb of Houston and nothing today. Anyone know what you get if they don’t choose you? A small letter of rejection?</p>
<p>Congrats lots and iheart! Nothing in the mail yet… from NJ. </p>
<p>Let’s start posting our stats and anything else you’d like to share such as merit scholarship, etc. Shall we start another thread for stats or is this good enough? </p>
<p>Good luck everyone!!! :)</p>
<p>Mail from Dallas to Houston usually takes 2 days and seeing as people in the Dallas area received their decisions today I am assuming Houston letters will be delivered tomorrow!</p>
<p>DD got her admissions letter today. Suburb of Dallas. Included $20,000/yr Second Century Scholarship. So excited for her. Good luck everyone! She has a 4.02 weighted/33 ACT lots of service and EC’s. She applied EA in September. Also, has two siblings one was a PS at SMU, graduated and getting masters, other a junior.</p>
<p>Does anyone know if they send all the letters out at once or if they will be sending a select few each day for the next two weeks. I live all the way up in Pennsylvania so it probably going to take at least 3 days to get here. Hopefully I get the letter in the next couple of days.</p>
<p>I’m down near the Houston area and I haven’t gotten anything either. </p>
<p>Hopefully I’ll know before Christmas!</p>
<p>I got mine today. I won’t be going cause SMU was a safety school and I got into Boston University, which was my first choice. Congratulations to all that got into SMU!</p>
<p>Got in today

<p>DD got her letter today! In a suburb of Houston. No scholarships. 
A bit disappointed since she received a significant scholarship to another school. I wonder if it was because she applied Early Decision. </p>

<p>@haha778 Yep, the departmental scholarships come out later! So all of you guys freaking out about not getting any scholarships, wait a little longer if you can since many people get some kind of departmental scholarship They can often be very large amounts, too.</p>
<p>And congrats on acceptances!</p>
