Hello Guys,

I am a re-applicant at Smeal, I was waitlisted last year but could not make the final cut.

The reputation of the operations and supply chain department at Smeal is the reason I am ready to take the re-applicant tag on my name.

Whether a re-application would in any way hamper my chances of making the cut in my 2nd attempt, I have no clue, but still I am going ahead with it.

Hey puneetj88,

Can you share your application experience with smeal last year.
I am sure we all will have something to benefit from it.

Hi,
I have just submitted my applications. Though I made a small mistake in my resume. In my school scores I mentioned as 89% instead of 88%. Should i notify the admissions team and get the changes done? Or should i just leave it at that ?

20 days and no news yet. Has anyone been accepted for interview yet?

There were some optional questions about miilitary work experience and joint degrees. Has anyone answered them? the application status is in red because of that. Should I fill something like Not Applicable?
