Re: Does Dallas deserve more than SMU

Just to reinforce the previous comments, it’s instructive to look at the other private institution tied with us at # 61 (Syracuse). It's interesting to note that Syracuse has over 15,000 undergraduates compared to about 6,400 at SMU.
Neither school is a current AAU member, although Syracuse was from 1966 to 2011, at which time, they voluntarily withdrew.
US News Rank:
Syracuse –61
SMU – 61
Endowment:
Syracuse— #80 $1,166,109,000
SMU -- #64 $1,505,296,000
SAT/ACT Range:

Syracuse – 26,790/14,260 (53%)/3757 (26%)
SMU – 12,992/6360 (49%)/1374 (22%)
6 Year Graduation Rate:
Syracuse – 80%
SMU – 79%
Retention Rate:
Syracuse – 92%
SMU – 90%
Apparently, Syracuse does not make their Common Data Set available online, so I used the College Data Website for Syracuse's information which presumably came from their CDS: http://www.collegedata.com/cs/data/college/college_pg02_tmpl.jhtml?schoolId=130
