SMU Class of 2021 EA/ED Thread

Colleges and Universities A-Z Southern Methodist University
1

Hi Everyone! I just thought I’d start this off. I have no idea when decisions will be arriving, I emailed admissions and the answer was quite vague. Just wondering if anyone else knows anything

2

I applied EA. Based on last year’s thread it looks like many students received their EA notice by 12/11

3

I applied EA to SMU as well, just wondering is it an advantage if you apply early?

4

Yes it is. They love early applicants. It shows huge interest. Good luck!!

5

I received an email from admissions saying they’d notify in early-mid december

6

Do you think we will find out this Friday? Seems like in past years the decisions came out the 2nd Friday of December.

7

Will we find out through the mail or online?

8

I think we find out online first, and then they send it via mail.

9

I applied ED and was told that we will find out through an email, with virtual confetti, on a Thursday or Friday evening around 6-7pm. My admissions counselor at SMU said that it would probably be the second week of December, so I am thinking as soon as the 8th, but probably the 9th. The decision will also be posted on your application portal page.

10

What were yalls act?

11

so they haven’t released the date yet?

12

Is that for EA too?

13

Yes, thats for EA too.

14

I just called the admissions office and they said we should be hearing back by the end of next week or the week after? Has anyone else called recently that heard anytime earlier? Very anxious! I applied EA

15

So just to confirm, we are thinking Thursday or Friday of next week?

16

I think they said tomorrow or Friday the 9th. I could be wrong. I think last year’s class was sent out on the 11th.

17

I called today as well and was told ED decisions are going out any day now and we would most likely hear a decision next week.

18

To my understanding they usually do ED a few days before EA. Hopefully ED will be this Friday and then EA a week later. My guidance counselor emailed an SMU admission counselor that he’s close with and he told me he’d get back to me once he hears anything, so I’ll keep everyone updated (probably tomorrow I’ll have a response)

19

An SMU admissions counselor emailed my high school guidance counselor and she said that ED will find out Wednesday 12/14 and EA will be Friday 12/16. They’ll be sent out electronically at 7 pm cst

will merit scholarship notifications come with an acceptance? Im anxious to hear back!!! i don’t want to wait until friday!!
