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.

I feel like at some point you or your kids must have applied to A&M and been rejected. You seem obsessed with bad mouthing the school. You're giving off psycho ex-girlfriend vibes.

Last thing- something you keep failing to comprehend is that Texas A&M has been put into this situation by the state government. There is nothing they can do about it until laws change. So, why don't you contact your state rep and complain if you are so concerned?

Ok, for a poster a few pages back who asked when the 10% law was passed. It was 1997.

A&M is unfairly having to take the brunt of the growth in the state because the state has been slow to choose another university to be first tier. Lots of political infighting by lawmakers has really hurt the state.

For all the fuss and growth, A&M is doing reasonably well considering, but it is not sustainable indefinitely. It is passed the time to put a cap on both Texas and A&M and better fund some of the other universities in the state.
