I can promise you A&M doesn’t have 23k or 28k in applicants. It’s much higher.

Right. Those were published stats from 2011. 10 years later it was 42k. I.e. showing that UT was much harder to get into still before the 6% thing. As it was before the 10% thing.

It also one reason people call A&M a diploma mill lately. Almost 20k more admissions after 10 years, and still north of 60% acceptance rate and LESS faculty (seriously - look at it). Meanwhile during that same time period UT Austin shrunk enrollment, and added faculty. Same strategy?

I also find it interesting with 15k more students, A&M only had 1k more graduates a year.
