<p>“Be careful, even arrogant longhorns admit A&M has a better alumni network.” I LOVE THIS GSTEIN! </p>
<p>It was me who was offended by the word propaganda…</p>
<p>gstein is the voice of reason, I am the one who is easily angered by rude and offensive behavior. </p>
<p>My point is Aggies take care of Aggies, from the day they set foot on campus (or receive a “Howdy Bib” when they are born as my daughter did) - until the day they die with a honored ceremony, Aggie Muster or Silver Taps. </p>

<p>look guys…SMU is a private college with expensive tuition</p>
<p>TAMU is public and is the best bang for your buck…</p>
<p>TAMU’s network is large but mostly within texas. SMU is small but isnt harvard small too? no one would argue that harvard has one of the best networks in the country?</p>
<p>Well … since the typical class at SMU is smaller, then my example is pretty accurate. Thats usually the case in most classrooms at SMU. As for it being a private school, and giving scholarships – you’re right, these things help SMU network outside of the state.</p>
<p>how difficult is it to apply to SMU? can you do so with just the texas common application? </p>
<p>i think SMU would be a good place for those interested in finance and business and economics…also law and humanities…</p>
<p>“TAMU’s network is large but mostly within texas. SMU is small but isnt harvard small too? no one would argue that harvard has one of the best networks in the country?”</p>
<p>Surely you’re not trying to say that SMU has as strong as an alumni network as Harvard because they’re both small schools.</p>
<p>From my limited experience, I don’t think SMU really has much of an alumni network outside of DFW.</p>
<p>Thats just because people fall in love with Dallas! 
ha</p>
<p>Or something like that. I’d imagine a large percentage of SMU students are from DFW. I used to work for a SMU graduate and I never thought he had an easier time because he went to SMU. In fact, damn near everyone else in the office went to A&M.</p>
<p>Well, like its been stated before, 50% are out of state. But, I’m sure a larger chunk of the other 50% are from the DFW area. There are many from Houston too.</p>
