Re: Admittance to SMU is harder than ever
Posted: Sun Oct 28, 2012 8:08 pm3.40 GPA for freshmen admits. I'd like to see the % from Top 10%, Top 25%, etc.
Interesting that there are 329 transfers, of which 59% were from two year colleges. I recently talked with a guy making $300K per year in a corporate finance job and he's sending his kids to community college first. The first kid is now at SMU Law after going to UT-Austin (post-CCCC). I would've thought that the juco kids would be turned off by the high price tag at SMU but maybe they know better. I want to see more locals mentioning SMU vs. all the UT/A&M hype. Then again, SMU is one of the top four schools out of Highland Park HS, which by the way, has an average SAT of 1190, well below the 1276 at SMU. Great job by the Ponies!
