DS’s psychiatrist (who he sees for ADHD) told us he’s seen so many addictions start at that school that he’d never send a kid there.

TCU has become the preferred in-state private school for UMC and wealthy Texas families because it’s more down-to-earth, less flashy wealth and less of a drug culture. SMU is drawing a lot of wealthy California types.

+1 to the bolded. TCU also attracts CA students.

Top California students aren't going to SMU. They'll leave the UC's for top east coast cities, not those outside the T100

I knew tons of women in LA who went to SMU. They would not have been top of their class.. They were average students at best. SMU was for girls like them who wouldn't be going to USC or UCLA so they went to SMU.

It's not bad at all. Otherwise they would go to ASU. Everyone who wants to go to college ends up somewhere.

I wouldn't say below average academics. But it is true that SMU and TCU today are what USC was in the 90s. They are the "it" schools for the leisurely rich.

Obviously most of the top students arent going there but to OP's point, there are MANY CA kids at smu, its almost an invisible pipeline from east coast boarding school or CA priv to smu. Take one good look at smu kkg and other "top" sororities, seems like there are more manhattan beach kids than dallas.

The OP is a troll and sock puppet so I am locking this thread.
