Does any one know that all the admitted applicants got their status updated or they still updating them?
Can we post a query regarding this to admissions team?[/quote]

I haven't received any info on scholarships. I think we have to wait for the formal letter from the overall head of Graduate Programming, but I could be wrong.

The students from previous batches received the formal admission decision and financial aid info in e-mails. So, we should wait for those e-mails now!

The notification of admission from Smith and the financial aid info arrived in separate emails but on the same day for me. The formal admission decision comes from the grad school after submitting all official documentation, I think. That is the case for me, at least, since I was asked to send my official docs to the grad school for final processing.

Edit: to add I'm a PT student, before anyone starts panicking

So, if I've read everything correctly, we need to send official transcripts, etc. We then receive our official decision (with scholarship info) from the Graduate School in something like two weeks?

Hi Guangjujiu, the official transcripts etc are needed for the official decision from the Grad school, correct. You should hear from them within a couple of weeks asking for the docs if they don't have them already. The financial aid info however was sent to me on the same day that I received my decision email from Smith. Not sure whether the process would vary for FT students, or it may simply be that the financial aid emails will be sent out shortly, as it looks like people are just receiving their admit notifications.

All the FT applicants got to know about our admits from the application webpage. As mrwise said, we should get the confirmation e-mail and the scholarship info e-mail soon! Last year, the decisions were out as soon as 23rd Dec and the e-mails were sent out starting Jan 10!

Just got the email with the financial assistance information.

That is great, congrats. May I ask what kind of financial aid did Smith offer you?

I haven't received any mail yet!

A graduate assistantship covering about 40% of tuition.

Hi All,

Have any R2 applicant had their interviews yet or received decisions?

Congrats to all R1s who have been admitted! Can you please post if you had an interview and how soon after you received your decision?

Thanks all!

Hey Guys !

Congrats on your admits !
I am a Round-1 applicant and submitted my application on Nov 1st. I haven't heard from them about even an interview so far. Tried calling and emailing, but the only reply I get is that I should wait for the decision deadline(which is about 2 days away) now.

Anyone else in the same boat?
I have almost given up on Smith I just wish they could have let us know about the status more promptly !

I am on the same boat!
I am also giving up as it looks like the admits are out and rejections are on their way

Hi,
Can anyone tell me whether I need to send official GMAT and TOEFL score to smith before the deadline of 15th Jan 2014 or I can send it later. Now I am applying and it will take at-least 10 days to reach the official score to smith. So, If I am submitting my application on 15 Jan and ordering for sending the scores to smith, will my application be considered for this round (deadline 15 Jan) or the later round.
Please give reply soon because based on reply only I will decide whether to go ahead with the application or leave it.
Thanks in advance
