Does anyone else who is interviewing 2/6 want to do a zoom meet ahead of time so that the group portions of the interview feel more comfortable? I’m sorry if I am late to reply but I’d love to zoom with others interviewing 2/6! e.eccles23@gmail Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Good luck to everyone interviewing!!! I had thought perhaps there would be some more as people declined, but at this point I’m thinking it’s not too likely, unless perhaps a spare spot opens up in the next week or so The last interview is 2/13 so at least by then we’ll know next can start planning for next cycle.

Was there time dedicated for a lunch break? Trying to figure out if I should have food prepared next to me lol.

I had a water bottle near by so I could sneak a few sips when needed. I saw a lot of people doing that. Not trying to give too much but the chair will explain the entire process regarding when everyone will hear back sometime during the day.

DanCoon Posted February 2, 2021 Share Posted February 2, 2021 That's interesting, I would have thought they would have waited until they interviewed all applicants before making their final decisions as it reduces the number of "seats" available to applicants who interviewing later, like me on 02/13. I wonder if they are accepting a certain number of interviewees per interview day. Still, congrats though! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When I got my call she said sometimes they are really impressed and excited about a student so they may call early. I think there are plenty more spots for applicants who already interviewed 1/31 and applicants who are waiting for interviews 2/6 & 2/13. I would not worry! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I wonder if they are accepting a certain number of interviewees per interview day. Still, congrats though! From what I've read from previous threads and cycles for SMU, they usually call anywhere from 5-10 candidates after each interview that they really liked and extend them an early acceptance. So that still gives room for equal early acceptances after each interview date. After that, they rank and invite the rest accordingly. No one is rejected from SMU if you're extended an interview from my understanding, just waitlisted from 1-100. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
