<p>I applied for admission to SMU for Fall 2012 and was notified that I had been deferred.I auditioned to be a dance major and I was accepted. I have been keeping in touch with my counselor all the time and she definitely knows I am interested in SMU. My ACT score is low, only a 23. I took it again but my score remained a 23 but managed to get higher subscores in some subjects. I take honors classes and am in my fourth year of spanish so my classes are some what challenging. My extra curricular activities consist of student ambassador (11,12) , SGA homeroom representative for 3 years, studio dance company member for the past 5 years (dancing everyday), yearbook student life editor (11,12), member of key club, green club, and pep club (Participating in one each year). I have been nominated for dance as a merit award winner in the national foundation or advancement in the arts.my GPA was a 3.7 last quarter. What are my chances of getting accepted after being deferred?</p>
<p>What’s your cumulative GPA, and is it weighted? Seems iffy…</p>
<p>my cumulative is a 3.3. I know my grades seem a little lower for the competitiveness but with dance being on my side I presumed they wouldn’t have to be as good since my major would be dance.</p>
<p>You sound like a well rounded student who has followed her passion and succeded by being recognized by SMU’s top dance program. I think it will come down to how your overall application compares to other students also planning to major in dance. Make sure you communicate your interest in SMU to your admissions rep.</p>
<p>Good luck to you and hope you are a Mustang this fall!</p>
<p>hmm… This one is tough. I would say that if you have good LORs and a good essay, you will be able to push yourself into an acceptance. Good luck!</p>
