Try again without including off site campus locations. That OM number includes The University of Mississippi Medical Center located in Jackson. MSU main campus enrollment is larger than the same for OM.

In fact, whether these schools want to admit it or not, the rest of the SEC West is littered with Texas high school graduates not qualified enough to get in to A&M. It's simply the truth of the matter.

Is LSU one of those schools that pays kids to retake so they can boost their rating. I want to say Baylor and maybe OU does (did) that.

What a terrible way to choose your education. A&M could not even have a football team and I'd still go there over schools with much worse ratings.

Well if we are to accept your claim, and A&M's students relative greatness in the academic arena relative to LSU, then the Texans enrolled at LSU would be far and away the most intelligent group of swamp kittens. If most of them are smart enough to get in to A&M but chose not to, then this is the only logical conclusion.
While I disagree with your original assertion based on personal experience, I won't mind if you keep believing that the smartest group of LSU students are from the Lone Star State.

Baylor admits kids early in the fall. Tells them, we will pay for you to take the test again in the spring and if you raise your score we will give you a merit based scholarship or some such.

Somewhat true, although that assumes that every high school kid in Texas would want to go to A&M. Some want a frattier school than A&M, or even a smaller school than A&M.
The formula that Texas uses to grant automatic admission to the big schools leaves a LOT of good students hanging. A kid in Frisco with a 3.8 might be a lot better student than a top 8% kid at some impoverished school in the Valley. One gets admitted to A&M, the other chooses between Arkansas and Texas Tech. Obvious choice is obvious.

I don't see where posting scores hurts my claim that if a kid is smart enough to go to A&M but chooses to go to LSU instead, he or she is going to boost the averages of LSU's scores. If the majority of Texas born LSU students are an example of such, and aren't like the kids that go to Arkansas, Ole Miss or Alabama that don't have a prayer of getting in to A&M like you claim, then this is the only logical conclusion.
It's all in good fun, broski. Y'all have been better than us on the football field over the last 20 years and we have been better in the classroom. It's just the way it is.
