SMU Presidential Scholarship 2019

As a Hunt Scholar (SMU '98) and someone who has read numerous Hunt applications, it is unlikely that the invitations have gone out yet. The readers typically read the applications in mid-January. Once the University has that feedback, then final decisions are made for invitations. Best of luck to all applicants. The Hunt is an excellent program.

Thanks for the insight, @Peruna1998! My son is still holding out hope for the possibility. He was very excited about the program. We’ll just keep trying to wait patiently. :slight_smile:

Hello! I am a current PS and can offer some insight.

I received an email on Valentine’s Day when I learned I was a finalist and invited to interviews.

As far as I know, invites are sent out through the end of February.

This program is amazing and I can try to answer questions if you have any.

@VioletAngel1999, did you apply RD? I think what confused some of us was the idea that EA students would get their PS invites in December or January. And some posted that they had. So now it seems a confusing timeline :slight_smile:

How are you enjoying the program?

@Meadow530 I actually applied EA. I believe that they wait to make some of their decisions about who to invite as a finalist once they have the Regular Decision applications. I know there are several rounds of finalist emails sent. It is not a reflection on whether or not you will ultimately end up receiving the scholarship.

I really enjoy both the program and the school itself. I enjoy the opportunities I have had to make friends in President Scholars, and that SMU gives me the chance to double major in diverse fields

Great, thanks for clarifying!
