<p>Tap 201 - Thanks for the info! Soooo stressful!!! I hope you and my daughter get an awesome Christmas present tomorrow! Did you go ED or EA?</p>

<p>Very excited, still waiting on others but very impressive admissions package</p>

<p>Finally - my daughter just got her Early Decision acceptance!!! Merry Christmas!!!</p>

<p>My son applied ED and got his big red envelope today! I have a D that is a soph at SMU and she loves it! We live in So Cal and are excited to have two mustangs in Dallas. Congrats to everyone and Merry Christmas and Happy Holidays!</p>

<p>My DD’s envelope from SMU must be lost in the mail. We are in California. Last Friday and Saturday our neighbors and my daughter’s classmates got their envelopes. My DD called SMU on Monday (after the mail delivery) and they confirmed she was in the SMU mailing and our address was correct. SMU told her only the regional admission rep could tell her of their decision. My DD called and emailed him and the recruiter for engineering whom my daughter had been in active contact with. The rep’s voice mail said he would not be back in the office until Jan. 2. SMU also told my daughter that they would not be able to send her an duplicate mailing until Jan. 2. My DD really likes SMU but not receiving any mailing has made her anxious. I doubt my DD will be receiving bad news since the engineering dept has been personally recruiting her. However when everyone around her has heard good news it can make us anxious. </p>

<p>Has anyone else not receiving mailing from SMU regarding ED/EA?</p>

<p>I wish SMU did it like some other schools. You can find out from your portal online but then get a nice a mailing afterwards.</p>
