From early Feb: A former colleague's son (Latino) who has a $25K per year to SMU plus $5-10K from Lyle. His dad (HBS grad from Mexico) said the son was concerned that he might not fit in at SMU because he's not into Greek and rather introverted. High stat guy and leader at an excellent north Dallas school. His other choices are TCU, A&M and Baylor so I told the dad that TCU is at least as Greek and not nearly as well regarded academically. Baylor isn't well regarded for computer science. A&M is big but a good value. It may be up to me to work this guy.
Update: Son visited SMU during Monday's admitted students event. "He really liked it. He is seriously leaning towards SMU. Great school, program, students and professors." Yeah!
Maybe it didn't hurt to be coming off a home win over #20 Houston on Saturday night.
As of a couple weeks ago, seven kids from my daughter's school have committed to SMU. Nine to TCU. Hogs and OU with over 20 and UT #1 with 31.
