How do you evaluate candidates for admission?
The Admissions Committee carefully considers all completed applications. Particular attention is paid to test scores, work history, undergraduate performance, letters of recommendation, and personal essays. The committee also takes into consideration extracurricular activities, community service, international experience, multi-lingual skills and other characteristics that make an applicant unique.

How can I check the status of my application?
You can check the status of your application by sending an email to mbainfo@cox.smu.edu. Clearly list your name, program you are applying to (MSiE), and the semester/year for which you are applying. During our peak season, responses may be delayed but we do our best to reply to all e-mails as soon as possible.

Do you require interviews?
Cox does require interviews for all admitted applicants. Upon receiving and reviewing each application, the Admissions staff will contact competitive applicants to set up an admissions interview. While an on-campus interview is preferred, the Cox Admissions staff will conduct phone interviews for applicants who are unable to travel to campus.
