TCU vs SMU core curriculum?

Hi,
I am looking to apply to TCU or SMU next year. I intend to major in Biology and then focus in research. I am also very interested in getting a well-rounded liberal arts education along with my major. (Philosophy, history, discussions, etc.)

Would either of these two colleges qualify?

Rice University would certainly satisfy your interests.

I agree that Rice has a solid liberal arts core. But it also has a very low acceptance rate. Any opinion on TCU or SMU?

I live both SMU & TCU . TCU is a wonderful community which offers a lot of substantial merit scholarship awards. SMU has a fairly strong campus culture which may not be a great fit for all.

I would be proud for any family member to attend any of the three universities (SMU, TCU, & Rice).

Other than Rice, I am not knowledgeable enough to comment regarding undergraduate research opportunities in biology.
