SMU Deferred 2023

Was deferred from SMU for the class of 2023. Would love to hear from others who were deferred at SMU or if you have knowledge of how the deferral process works here or other institutions.

Hi @talllatte - if you don’t mind sharing, what were your stats? I applied RD.

I was also deferred. I am really hoping to get in.

Do we know when decisions go out?

I got an email that hinted late Feb/Early March. Last year I think they found out March 9 so for us March 8. I’m betting on March 8. @kitty72

Good luck.

Anyone know when decisions come out??

maybe at the end of this week?

Let’s keep our eyes on social media, they often announce there.

Son just got an email saying that the deferral decisions are going to be released on their portal at 7 pm Central time.

what are everyone’s stats??

@gsbc12 how are you with Spring Admit? I’m pretty happy. Congratulations!

@kitty72 I am happy! I really want to do my first semester abroad in London (I don’t know what the tuition is). However, financial aid doesn’t transfer over, so I would most likely take classes at a local University if it’s too much. Congrats to you too what do you think you will do in the fall if you go to SMU?

to clarify, i got in for fall 2019.

my stats:

GPA: 3.28 UW, 3.72 W

ECs: Super strong, my letter stated I was admitted because of my vast array of ECs and leadership. (direct quote)

My essays were strong also, and I wrote a pretty long and heartfelt letter in the box where you could write to the committee after being deferred.

Congrats to all that got in!
