I read in the SMU Cox school magazine that the AVERAGE SAT test score for admittance into the business school is now 1400. I do not know whether this average test score is just for the reading and math portions of the test only or whether it also includes the new written portion, which brings the maximum possible to 2400. Many universities still base their admittance on the reading and math portions only.

I went to Oklahoma Panhandle State University, so do not tell me one schools finance department is the same as the other. Take a Tulane degree in finance to a job interview and see if you get hired over the SMU finance degree. And please do not use profanity on this board, only I am allowed to do that.

They don't. I looked it up. They can be pre-business and have to pass a certain set of classes with a 3.3 GPA. 1400 on SAT. That's outrageously high. Cox must be trying to pull an Enron.

Didn't say they did. When I went to SMU in the 70's, a student had to complete the "core" ciriculum and apply to be accepted into the business school. I don't know if that has changed or not. It just so happens that the average SAT score of those that are in the business school today is 1400. I do have a friend whose daughter had straight A's coming out of Plano West and scored a 1400+ on the SAT that received a $20,000 scholarship directly from the dean of the business school and another, separate $20,000 scholarship from the university. His wife was crying a FLOOD of tears about her lost Lexus when the daughter committed instead to Wake Forest, which did not offer her a scholarship and was $1,000 more expensive per year.

Perunapower, get the facts before you begin to argue with the bigdaddy. I promise you my [deleted] is legit, straight from the horses mouth. Plus, what else would any athletic minded person contribute the last 20 years of the football [deleted] to. Oh, PB! No 300lbers, no 4.3's here. If they are that big, fast and smart, you can get into any school. We get players who could not play anywhere else but SMU, but they are smart. In the right places at the right time, but ineffective. That your wifes favorite line.
Just for the record - Tulane is not a "much harder" school then SMU. Ranking wise Tulane undergrad is number 50 in the last US News and World Report rankings and SMU is 67th - not that statistically relevant a difference.
cmon big dad, inquiring minds want to know.
