Calling all Cox(SMU) Applicants: (2016 Intake) Class of 2018!!

My suggestion here would be - while you should not loose hope for Cox, start preparing for your round 2 schools and use your experience from round 1 to better prepare yourself. Take professional help if required. All the best.

Sorry guys could not reply to your questions, I was busy with the mid terms and then some other random stuff. But i replied to all the PMs that I got. I would request you all to please PM me in case of any important query, I get notified of all the pms that I get.

I do no get a notification mail, if you tag me here in the forum post. PM me and you will get a faster response.

Hi guys, Can anyone confirm that strictly no recommendations are required for full time mba program ?

you just have to give the name of your recommenders, that would suffice for your application to get reviewed.

That is correct. You need to give the details of 2 recommenders, whom they will contact if required. But like for other schools, you don't need them to send the recos for your application to be reviewed.

I got a mail today from Cox, that I have been put on the waitlist and that the decision will be given in June 2016.
Firstly, I was not interviewed by Cox, and the waitlist mail is the first mail I have received since submitting my application.
Secondly, isn't June 2016 a little too late for international applicants with respect to visa preparation?

Yes, June 2016 is a bit late. While you can keep waiting, I would suggest to look for another school. That way you can at least feel at ease when you get an admission, even if not from Cox.

I was interviewed by JR McGrath last night and this morning I received a waitlist decision. During interview I was told that decision will come by 15th Dec.
Everything went well during the interview, it was a very conversational experience and hence I was almost sure of getting an admit.

Guys is it possible that something went missing here. I mean they decided on waitlisted candidates who were not interviewed and since mine was scheduled just on the day they rolled out mails, I some how got the waitlist mail too.

I know I am thinking too much through this but it seems tough to reason out the waitlist decision even though I understand the admission process is relative.
Any inputs?

Wait-listed without interview. Not nice. My first wait list of the season.

hey guys,

has anyone who got interviewed heard back from Cox?

not yet.... we can expect to start hearing in another 5-7 days.

Got a call with my acceptance on Nov 20th. Recently paid the deposit and am confirmed for the upcoming class.

Accepted with scholarship $

Congrats. Did you get notified by mail?

I received a call and then a package in the mail later that week. Good luck!!!

Got an Admit. Scholarship- $60000

I got interviewed on 23rd Nov. I see quite a lot of people who've got decisions(admits/waitlist etc).Has it got anything to do with my interview date being quite late.
