SMU RD Discussion

Didn’t see one, so thought I would make it! Feel free to post stats, questions, decisions, or anything else related to SMU Regular Decision.

Good luck to all!

My daughter just applied RD today via Common App.
Her stats: SAT 1350, gpa 3.9 UW, 4 years of marching band/ leadership, volunteer work.
700 Math SAT.
CA resident.
She applied as Mechanical Engineering Major. Best of luck to her and all the other RD applicants! It’s a top choice for her, hoping she gets accepted and will receive merit aid.

I got deferred from EA do you think my chances are better because of this or do most people get deferred?

I was deferred as well.

Any news on decisions being released?

I already posted this on the EA/ED thread but i will post it here also. I forgot to submit my CSS profile and I emailed them asking if sending it late would affect my financial aid and they said and I quote. “You were fine to submit your CSS Profile when you did. You will receive your award letter within the next month I would assume.”
So my guess would be within the next month based on this email. This seems a little early to me though but I hope.

@kitty72 I just got my decision in my email

the Office said they were releasing all at once in March. Congrats

I have a feeling it has to do with either Hunt or Presidential Scholarship. Probably Hunt though

What did it say? @WhoKnows2023 did anyone else get it?

@gsbc12 I think it was just a basic acceptance letter. I have a cousin who is working for the admissions office as a student at SMU right now and she was telling me RD applicants who are qualified for Hunt/Presidential/Other Big Scholarships are accepted earlier than the normal RD date just to give them enough time before the interviews or whatever.

My letter didn’t say anything specifically about those scholarships, so I’m just making that assumption given what my cousin has told me and because I applied for Hunt and definitely have the stats for Presidential.

I just got a Meadows acceptance in my email. Still have to wait until regular SMU acceptance in March to know for sure!

Does anyone know what day SMU released last year?

I think March 9.

Does anyone know what time today decisions will come out? I’m guessing 4pm EST?

I heard 5 CST. But not sure. Good luck everyone!!!

Thanks @kitty72 ! Good luck to all!

Did anyone else get an email saying when its released?

Just received the email!! 7pm cst!

7pm Dallas time.
