Southern Methodist University Early Action / Early Decision for Fall 2025 Admission

That’s really good to hear. You must be a very proud parent :heart:
I just wanted to know if SMU is a place for students from all walks of life, and sounds like it is. Thank you.

That’s exactly the kind of stuff I’ve been reading about as well.
and quite honestly, it’s OK for me if there are kids with lots of money and flaunt it too - that’s life!
I just want be assured that my kid will not feel totally out of place.

My son is at SMU in the Cox school of business. This is his junior year. He loves it. I have raised my kids going to public high schools and clipping coupons. He has friends from all walks of life there, and he’s really enjoying his college experience. Don’t worry so much about everybody else. Birds of a feather flock together.

Thank you. That’s very good and assuring to hear. :heart:

Cox decisions will be on early January :worried:.
At least that’s what the letter states.
Anyhow, D25 admitted with 25k / year scholarship, which makes this one of the top 3 options for us (provided we get Cox acceptance).
My best wishes to everyone.

S25 is in with 20K a year! Not sure that’s going to be enough to move it to the front for us but very nice.

Still waiting on Cox.

She’s in! HOORAY! $10K/year. Not as much as we hoped but will take it. Hoping for more $$ in coming months. Waiting on business now too…

Congrats!

Anybody know if BBA Scholars come out with Cox decisions?

Yes, based on last year thread.
But it’s not a lot of money, even though every bit helps, isn’t it?

S25 also got accepted but with only 10K/year. Even If he gets into Cox, not sure if is worth over some other school option.

Daughter accepted. No mention of $, so probably a dealbreaker.
