Take anything they say over the phone with a grain of salt. Last week, my college advisor called SMU and they said that EA decisions would be out on Friday, which obviously didn’t happen.
Do we think they will start releasing decisions at 7 PM today or will they be sprinkled throughout the day until Thursday?
What is the significance of 7pm? Is that their MO?
It could be today. They are making changes to the portal.
I think that’s when they released ED last week, and IIRC, way back when I got my acceptance (SMU 2020), they released at 7 PM as well.

I think it will be 7 exactly. That is what they have done in previous years. It could also mean they are rolling out the decisions for the hour or so before 7

Ae1231 where did you see the scholarship? Was it included in the letter? My daughter’s doesn’t say anything so I’m assuming that she didn’t qualify?
It was in my letter, 3rd paragraph

my son was accepted! They offered $10K a year merit, but unfortunately that will not be enough for us to afford it
