<p>Yes, I have heard this even from the dean of another elite private school in Texas who used to work at TCU. He told my son SMU is the best school of the all the schools on his plate. He told him if you ending up getting into SMU, definitely attend SMU over TCU. Obviously, SMU is much harder to get into than TCU too. SMU has higher stats too. Another good thing about SMU is that it has a smaller undergraduate class which means smaller classes. That is a huge plus.</p>
