Smu- sibling who got into smu

Applying to College

<p>Hi, does anyone know a person who had a older sibling that went to Southern Methodist University (SMU) and that person was accepted to the university with lower grades/test scores usually accepted? </p>

<p>I'm asking because currently I have a sibling at SMU. My grades and SAT's are somewhat lower than what the school tends to accept:
I got a 550 CR (the schools low is a 560) and a 520 in math (the schools low is a 580). Unfortunately, SMU does not consider writing. </p>

<p>I know the university is pretty far out of my range, however since my parents pay full tuition (no financial aid) and I have a sibling that attends the school maybe it will help my chance of being accepted? </p>

<p>Soo has anyone been in/ heard of a similar situation like mine where the kid got into the schoool????</p>

<p>thankkks!</p>

<p>I know next to nothing about SMU in particular, but in general, that’s not how it works. In general, if you meet the school’s admissions criteria, then having a parent or sibling who went there helps differentiate you from other qualified applicants.</p>
