People who think acceptance rates and yields are all alike have no clue unless you look at the applicant pool, and it's very different. We have much better stats, and those are facts. We are making progress, but we have a much longer way to go to bridge the gap vs. a Rice, and we don't compete with many of its applicants, similar to how tcu doesn't compete with us.
FWIW, this is a great promotional event.
I chose SMU over ND because it was in Dallas where I lived.

I agree with people who are commenting along these lines. TCU's recent football success drove up their applications significantly above ours, thus artificially improving their acceptance rate without necessarily improving the quality of students who attend there.

Haha. My uncle lived in Atlanta for a number of years and my aunt is from Columbia. Growing up they lived in St. Pete, so I guess you could call her Southern. Lived in MSP the last 8-10 years.
