SMU President's Scholar interview

I was notified about a week ago that I was a finalist for the President’s Scholar program and invited to interview in March. Does anyone have an idea of what the interview has been like in the past? Any tips for the interview? Thanks!

Hope your interview went well! Any news regarding the selections? My daughter is waiting to hear also. She said they told you all it could be this week.

Yeah, they said that they would update us this week through the admissions portal apparently, and they’d notify us through email when decisions come out. I’m guessing they’re still deliberating cuz I haven’t received any emails from SMU for a while. Good luck to your daughter!

Good luck to you as well. I will post here when we have news.

I got an email in the afternoon yesterday, good luck to both of you!

My daughter was named a President’s Scholar. She is thrilled. She is visiting next Sun-Tues and will confirm her acceptance after that. She still has 5 schools to hear from regarding acceptance, but we know that even if accepted they will be very $$$$, so I don’t think she has a better option than this at SMU, so I think she will commit even before those last schools release decisions.
