It’s not the 22nd yet. They may be publicly under promising.

I don’t recall seeing anything that promised EA decisions by mid-December.
On the other hand, you do not want them to meet a deadline by deferring a bunch of applications that they did not have time to look at.

Early Decision I (binding)
Early Action (non-binding)
Admission decisions released: mid-December

I just have a strong feeling that decisions will come out by the 20th but could be wrong. That’s the way it worked with my D20.

It’s posted on the website under datelines.
i called them and they said the 22nd at the latest for early action it seemed that might not be the case for early decision.
Yep, ED is already out. Five from our school are already set.
I think the key wording is “at the latest.” We’ll see. It’ll all be settled very soon and then there’s ED2…
If they come out on the 20th or earlier, they won’t be late IMO. I am hoping that they are just under promising. If they really are pushed back until the 22nd, it just is a bit underwhelming. I get that it’s only two days. As a Type A, missed deadlines drive me insane.

It’s hard to wait because daughter has already received acceptances and scholarships from other schools. We are waiting for word from SMU before making a decision but it is hard when the timelines are so different. Honestly harder for me than my daughter!

Is SMU the last y’all are waiting on? I know both of our girls have several good options!

I am praying for emails that we hear today. I just think the admission office would be off next week and want this done today. Hopeful thinking!

I had read somewhere that SMU sends out an email the day of the announcement saying something like “Your result will be available today by 7:00 pm”

Hello all, I was copied on an email from SMU that his decision will be posted today at 7pm in his portal. He applied EA.
