I have. I know quite a few people who chose SMU over A&M, because they are doing business (cox ranks higher), AND they prefer a private school . UT and A&M are more popular in Texas because they are bigger state schools, they automatically accept top 10percent, they are cheaper, and the football is big. I have several friends who go to A&M and have no idea what SMU is, but they also hadnt heard of Vanderbilt, Villanova or Tulane (for example). Perhaps, those three are the best in some people's opinion. Fine. BUT, I think a lot of people who would say those three schools in Texas are only niave.
I'm from Texas, and I had heard of all the schools before applying. I did my research, and visited campuses, and I only applied to SMU out of those.
So I guess in the end, everyone has their opinion, but my point is, not EVERYONE would say that, vyse.
