You know what I find really annoying? That schools say they want to make the application process as easy as possible and not increase student’s stress level when the pandemic already has everyone experiencing unprecedented stress. Why can’t all these schools just tell the kids when they are releasing decisions? Give them a definitive date and time and if they can do it sooner, great.

What do we think chances are it comes out tonight?
I don’t think they will. Didn’t they send out emails to everyone last year 24 hours prior to the portal being updated? I hope I am wrong. Good Luck everyone.

At least they are all coming out together. Some schools like Wisconsin are releasing them in batches. Some got yesterday, others get an email that they will find out by the end of January.
A friend works for SMU (not in admissions.) She checked with admissions today and they say emails will go out tomorrow (Thursday) night with acceptances, packages emailed next week.

That sounds strange as they usually do a portal update with all decisions being released on the same day/time. Yes, they do mail packages to those accepted but they usually come weeks after acceptance through the portal. @KEHTX1 are you saying that emails/decisions go out tomorrow (Thursday) and packages emailed next week? Not sure what your note above is saying. Thanks
I heard that decisions are coming out today from two friends. I heard that SMU usually releases decisions at 7 pm central time. But, I also heard that SMU is going to be releasing decisions in batches this year.
So sorry to be confusing! I think what she meant when she said emailed was that they will be on portal (if that is what they usually do, I would go with that). Packages (or whatever they mail) will be mailed next week. Good luck tonight!!!

Okay, I am confusing myself too! I believe we will hear acceptances tonight and packages (meaning merit packages) will be sent next week (sent= through portal or email I suppose?)

Interestingly, both my parents were cc’d on the email — could that be a good sign?!?!
mine too, does that mean anything?
Parents have been copied on and sent several informational emails along the way if you supplied their email address on your app …
No. It simply means they like to communicate w parents as well during the process … many schools do the same.
Good luck everyone - SMU is such a great school!
