at what point during the process do they contact your recommendation contacts for a recommendation?

My recommendation contacts never were asked to send anything. I wish they were though as my professional experience really reflects my potential.

Congrats on your Admit..

Can you walk us through on how your interview was? and what sort of questions were asked? was the interviewer aware of your application or was it a blind interview?

Could you also share your profile with us?

Regards,
Ali.

Thank you Ali!

No, it was not a blind interview. Tom had every page of my profile spread out in front. I had a great interview. Tom is a great person.

Questions that I could recall were 1) why MBA, 2) why Cox, 3) what are my target companies, 4) where else I applied, 5) what are my short/long term goals, 6) How can I achieve these short/long term goals 7) A lot of questions related to my essay. I mean a lot. I was asked to elaborate, explain events that I described in my essays 8) how important scholarship is for me

No curveballs, very conversational, all straight forward.

I am in IT for last 4.5 years.

Hope it helps.

Hi all. This is my first time to post. I just got my admittance email, it did not indicate whether or not I got a merit scholarship. Does anyone know if this information is always included in the email?

Hi, usually the financial aid/scholarship information is in the hard copy admission letter that SMU sends you.
The email does not say about the scholarship...atleast mine did not.
