Why are BBs/EBs farming kids from SMU Cox

Every time I open LinkedIn it’s someone from Southern Methodist University’s Cox biz school announcing they got MS, JPM, GS, MOE, etc. No hate, genuinely curious what this is about. Or lmk if it’s just my feed

They are plowing huge $$$ into the business school (just rebuilt the entire biz school for $100M+) and have the Alts program. They have a pretty natural pipeline to Houston, majority of placements are still there, but NY placements get better every year

Not a target by any means, but definitely one of the better schools in terms of acceptance rate compared to placement rate

 

target is a stretch when it's a daycare for dallas kids who couldn't even crack into a t50
