SMU applicationsAny of you have recent experience with kids or other relatives applying to SMU?
My daughter is applying. Her friend with a 1500 SAT is applying because she’s heard about big merit scholarships. A friend from Sugarland’s kid didn’t get into SMU for this fall so she’s headed to TCU. Turned down Baylor. I’m intrigued by all the mailings from Tulane to encourage applying for free. They seem have a great admissions operation.
Re: SMU applicationsGot a good year lined up. Everything has gone toward ACT. Average ACT for this incoming class is a 30.5 with a class size of over 1500. A SAT score of 1500 should garner really good scholarship money unless there are grade issues..ie, an adjusted grade point of 2.5 or less. Doubt that is the case but it happens more than you would think...
Re: SMU applicationsFriar - I thought the average was 31 last year?
Re: SMU applicationsBelieve she has a 4.0 UW and about a 4.4 wtd GPA. May go early decision to a top 3 public university so it'll be interesting. Not sure what major.
Regarding ACT, good thing my kid doesn't want Cox or Lyle.
Re: SMU applicationsRounded up. Basically the same as last year......
Re: SMU applicationsIt seems that no one in my family thinks about applying to SMU anymore.
One who was a high school valedictorian graduated from an Oklahoma U and then the Houston medical for dentistry. Another became an eye doctor. Another is at ACU in pre-med. Texas A&M grad in teaching. A Texas A&M freshman. A Pepperdine ministry then OU law school grad. A couple more lawyers. One is at Baylor. One is at Oxford. These are all cousins' kids. I can mention SMU and NO.
Re: SMU applicationsProbably too expensive for a lot of people...especially when cheaper alternatives exist.
Re: SMU applicationsYogi Berra, is that you?
Re: SMU applicationsGot a letter for a free Baylor application. Trying to pump up applications!
Re: SMU applicationsHave her call. Shows she’s not applying just to apply. My nephew set up appointments at Vandy, TCU and SMU and got full rides to all
Worked for nephew although he chose tcu but he promised me SMU for grad school
Re: SMU applications
You mean that little guy that came to the SMU games with you is college age now? I am so old. All those who believe in psycho kinesis, raise my hand
Re: SMU applications
Yep, you met him when he was three and now I have an empty seat next to me
Re: SMU applicationsCongrats. I've got one out, one a senior, and one a freshman in college.
Re: SMU applicationsChose full ride to TCU over Vandy? What was the hook? Better viewing?
Yeah, I totally agree that free apps only serve to generate more apps. It doesn't help Tulane, Baylor or wherever determine how interested the applicant really is. They have to fill out optional essays, call, visit, etc. or they're doomed even with super high stats. ponyboy, I suppose our kids know each other if you still live in UP and senior goes to public school.
Re: SMU applications
Tcu over SMU and vandy? Not sure I’m buying that. Doesn’t seem smart at all. Tcu student quality is waaaay below SMU or vandy.
