Southern Methodist University Wait List Acceptance Rate

Wait List Acceptance Rate

Southern Methodist University's wait list acceptance rate for the application year 2024 stands at 4.5%, with 67 out of 1,480 offered a spot. This marks a significant decline compared to the previous year, 2023, when 292 students were accepted from a larger pool of 1,703, resulting in an acceptance rate of 17.1%. Historically, acceptance rates have varied markedly; for instance, in 2022, only 3 students were accepted out of 1,547, leading to a mere 0.2% acceptance rate. The fluctuations in these rates emphasize the increasing competitiveness and unpredictability of the wait list process at SMU.
