Southern Methodist University is a moderately competitive university to get into and thus, students must submit impressive academic grades as well as excel in co-curricular activities. Apart from fulfilling the academic qualifications, some of the best practices that students can follow include acquiring strong letters of recommendation, and submitting high English language proficiency scores as well as aptitude test scores. Students who excel in activities outside class also stand a good chance of getting admitted to the university.
