My son got deferred for Business/Marketing.
GPA - 3.61 UW, no SAT
Anyone look at the admission letter today? It now states that Cox decisions will come out early Jan â I thought that last night this read ânext weekâ?
I did not use financial aid, I have two scholarships from the school that I accepted, so Im not too sure how thatâs handled, sorry!

Hi! smu student here. Cox is definitely more competitive. I am a communications major and sports management and I was informed of my scholarship from SMU when I was accepted then later on from Meadows about a second scholarship through my major. I also received a good amount from TCU, but more from SMU over all. hope this help!
D was accepted last night and received the Distinguised Scholar Award.
Yes, I just reread my letter. You are right.
Our son was accepted as well, but no mention of merit offer. Waiting to hear about Cox in January. Does anyone know what the average GPA/SAT is for those receiving merit? Also, any chance merit will be offered at a later time if those who were offered scholarships donât enroll? Crossing our fingers for a little help since we donât qualify for need based aid.
Son received Distinguished scholarship with a 1520 SAT. GPA may not be meaningful to compare from high school to high school? I, too, would be interested should SMU release their stats. Perhaps more will post results here and you will get a sense of these averages.
Financial need doesnât impact merit scholarships.
Looking at last yearâs EA string, Provost had at least 3.9 UGPA and 34 ACT. In a year when test optional is a bigger deal, maybe leadership, geography, essay focus, demonstrated interest, etc.
I got a distinguished scholarship with a 30 ACT, but a 4.0 unweighted GPA, a 4.6 weighted, 1/177, and many clubs and sports!
A friendâs kid was deferred from EA. He was just offered to switch to ED2 or stay with RD review. Itâs easier to decide if you have other schoolsâ responses back but many of the competitive public universities are still deliberating.
D25 just got her Cox acceptance with BBA, so check portals if awaiting Cox!
Yes Cox decision here as well. Thanks for the alert!
We got the Cox acceptance as well, no BBA though. Do you know what is the ratio between BBA and Business Direct?
congrats!
Thanks! Any idea about the ratio between BBA and Business Direct?
not sure, sorry
Based on past years they target enrolling 100 Scholars and 300 total in Cox as freshmen.

Thanks again. I hope we will hear about about the final FA package soon. Their website says early Jan. We are not from Texas, therefor not eligible for TEG.
Hello. I was wondering if anyone on here received the application for additional scholarships that was due earlier in the week? Wondering if this is a good sign or if everyone got it? If anyone has any insight, I would love to hear, especially from an SMU student or parent.
