Its interesting indeed, but in case anyone is wondering if this disparity the OP is claiming is new, here are the published stats from almost 15 years ago (you know, before guys in church were sharing that Austin ran out of space and A&M HAD to grow, or that Texas is only now more selective because they are allowed the 6% vs the 10% rule):
School A:
Applicants: 28k
Top 10% Applicants: 70%
% of Applicants Accepted: 51%
School B:
Applicants: 23k
Top 10% Applicants: 49%
% of Applicants Accepted: 69%
This is before one of the schools spent a decade to add 16k students to their total enrollment figures and #SEC.
So I think the verdict is in favor of the original premise unless people object to the word "much"

Where are you getting your “published” stats?
ETA- my information about why A&M had to take top 10% versus UT—Austin only taking top 6% came from a Texas State Representative who goes to my church. Not some random dudes at church as you seem to try to imply. Something tells me that he knows more about what goes on behind closed doors in Texas government than some guy on a football forum. You need to get your panties out of wad. Nobody has claimed that your school sucks. I was replying to a poster who said A&M was easy to get into and that you just needed a pulse to be accepted. Because I’m right in the middle of choosing colleges with my kid, I know that to be completely false. My kid is is ranked high enough that admission to Texas and A&M will both be automatic. We’ve just ruled out Texas because A&M and College Station are a better fit for my kid. More conservative, less crime, and a true college town.

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