<p>of the schools you listed, Tulane is probably the highest ranked with Ohio State and SMU neck and neck right behind. Iowa is another state school and Baylor is much lower.</p>
<p>SMU and Tulane are basically the same school except SMU is located in a nice part of Dallas and Tulane is located in a nice part of NOLA. SMU student body is probably more Texas and Southwest, with Tulane more East Coast and Southeast.</p>
