Peanut3 Posted January 21, 2018 Share Posted January 21, 2018 What an amazing, fun, and exhausting day it was yesterday. I met a ton of incredible people. Everyone was so informative. Thank you to the students for being there and answering my questions along the way. This school is officially my top choice and it would be a honor to be accepted. Hope those phones start ringing soon. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hope those phones start ringing soon. I am so glad you enjoyed the experience and that SMU is your top pick! I may be biased, but I love it here. We had a blast hosting the first round of the interviewees yesterday, have continued anticipation for the next two upcoming sessions, and are excited that we may see you guys again in the fall. Best of luck in the next couple of months to all who are granted interviews! If you have any questions in the meantime, feel free to ask them here.

kp1027 Posted January 23, 2018 Share Posted January 23, 2018 I am interviewing this weekend and am wondering if anyone who has already interviewed or who knows the area well has any hotel recommendations? I've looked through the list of recommended hotels provided and some of them are closed down? Just wanting to make sure I have a spot that's close enough, clean and safe. Thanks!

When I interviewed last year, I stayed at the Oakland Marriott City Center on Telegraph Ave. It is about a mile from campus, but is a lovely hotel and an easy commute. I think it is about $170/night. Pricey, but a nice, safe stay. Good luck on Saturday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I stayed at the Hyatt place Emeryville. It was about ten minutes away. It has a bunch of shops close by and the hotel is friendly and clean. They have a good workout room which was nice for me the night before to relax. Also, they have a free breakfast that starts at 7 am and it is pretty good. Good luck this weekend. -Paige Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DDoc-Skyline Posted January 25, 2018 Share Posted January 25, 2018 Early admission calls have started going out. Keep an eye out for a call from 510 area code. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Biologyyy Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 Does anybody know if they are still sending out interviews for the February date? I got an email from SMU saying that my application is still currently in active review. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tvooooo Posted January 29, 2018 Share Posted January 29, 2018 I got called to interview feb. 10 (yay!) on Wednesday but haven’t gotten a follow up email yet... it’s been 5 days. About how long after the phone call did everyone else get the email with all the interview details??? And yes I’ve checked my spam and junk folders ?

I have not received anything. However, I was told I would receive an email in the next week or so. Also, the current class said it takes a while to get the email after acceptance. So I wouldn’t worry too much. Also, Rayleen made a Facebook page for everyone who has been accepted. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MLicci Posted January 31, 2018 Share Posted January 31, 2018 Congrats to those who received early acceptance! We (your second years) look forward to meeting you guys in the fall. As someone who received early acceptance last year, you will not hear any correspondence from SMU until all other acceptances have gone out in early March. I remember freaking out because the faculty member who called me said I had 10 days to make my deposits and I must have called SMU about 5 times in those 10 days. Nonetheless, you won't be forgotten. They made the right choice in calling you, they won't change their mind (something that ran through my mind, lol). So just sit back, relax, celebrate a ton, and expect to hear from the university in March in regards to paying your deposit and getting geared up for fall. Again, hooray to those with early acceptances! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
