These are probably the stats for incoming freshmen.
No, they are the total institutional number from Texas A&M's internal department. Readily available on the A&M website.
quote:
Texas A&M is the only top 20 rated research institution between the east coast and west coast and has very large numbers of graduate students also known as "Graduate Assistants". Graduate Assistants tutor and interact very regularly with undergraduates. The Graduate Assistants come from every state in the US and every continent except Antartica. Many of them are Veterans.
This is undergraduate only, which is how institutions are judged on this sort of thing. Graduate programs are totally different and are almost all made up of kids from out of state/country because of a variety of reasons.

Oh, and the UT Austin admission rate is 40 percent, with more applications than the aggies, as well as slightly different standards on top 10 (it's top 8 at UT Austin) percent Texas graduates guaranteed admission.
So what's the deal? Why a 30-point difference?

The University of Texas at Arlington and Dallas are very well-regarded institutions, and along with UT-San Antonio, the UT board of regents has funneled lots and lots of money to them.
Not really

Yes, really.
Look at their enrollments as well as the money allotted from the Permanent University Fund to build facilities. In some years (many, maybe), UT Austin is not the biggest recipient of the construction bond money (they do get "excellence funds" that guarantees UT Austin the most overall PUF money).
A&M-Commerce and Kingsville and Canyon and the like would kill to have that kind of financial support.
They are just shitty schools that you likely should've never taken into the system. There's that aggie hubris again, biting you in the arse.

If you graduated from a University with a significant research program you would have understood the importance of Graduate Assistants and their diverse background.
Texas A&M is a Land Grant, Sea Grant, and Space Grant University. To say that the students interact with almost no one from outside the State of Texas is ludicrous.

You just blasted us for increasing enrollment, quite the double standard. And his point was that even with the increased funding those schools have not improved at all as far as academic reputation or quality of students. Please refute our argument
And IDGAF about our satellite campuses

How can you argue with a dumbass like ^^^^^^^^^?
Increased enrollment at OTHER SYSTEM SCHOOLS, you dumb frick.

I don't know what the hell this has to do with undergraduate stats. I made zero comment about research or grad assistants.

How UT-Dallas Transformed Itself into a Top Texas College
You goofballs were stroking something from the Texas Tribune the other day... here's something published three days ago.

U.S. News and World Report now ranks it third among public universities in the state, behind UT-Austin and Texas A&M University. Since 2005, the university's four-year graduation rate has jumped from 30 percent to over 50 percent. During that time, it spent more than $1 billion on campus construction and continued to attract some of Texas' best students.

Like I said way back, somebody has to be third. Anyone in their right mind would rather go to Arkansas, OU or Alabama than fricking UTD.
It's hilarious you are defending the shite out of all your farm schools though as if they're your own

This is a very misleading statistic.
UT Austin does not have a medical school, one of the few top-tier public universities for which that is the case.
That will soon change, so those numbers for UT Austin will go up.
Additionally, several UT System medical schools rank in the top 50 for research. So if you combined any of the three with UT Austin (a move that would make John Sharp proud), then the numbers would be inflated and the aggies would be in second place in the state.
Again.

Not really. Yes, Alabama turns a lot of in-state kids away just simply because most every kid sends an application to Tuscaloosa, even if they don't have the grades.
But if you have decent grades, its not difficult to get accepted to Alabama. While Alabama shows a lower acceptance rate compared to Auburn, I know plenty of Auburn graduates who've had to watch their kids enroll at Alabama simply because their kids didn't have the grades to get into Auburn, but were accepted into Alabama.
Alabama is not turning down any quality in-state kids in favor of out of state kids. If you have semi-decent grades, you can enroll at Alabama.
My sister, and a few of my friends got into Alabama with some awful test scores. They admitted her last year and her SAT, at the time, was under 1000 for a 3 score. C'mon Bama... we know you want the money. A few schools should be doing this, I just have to poke fun at that
She raised her score and is going to UF. Probably that admissions letter bumped her rating up to a 4 star or something.

The free meals given out by some California cities attracts enclaves of semi-homeless people permanantly camping in RV's who piss and shite in the streets and break in people's cars.
College Station doesn't have that problem.

Ok. We give. The Longhorns are better.
Now go smoke that pole on Sixth Street before the crowd comes. You know you like it.
And keep telling yourself, "We're Texas." Say it enough times with that sausage in your mouth and it will make you feel good.
Praise Jesus we are in the SEC.

as i stated a week ago, aTm did lump in all of their health science centers in 2013 simply to inflate their research numbers, so they added in campuses in Bryan-College Station, Dallas, Temple, Houston, Round Rock, Kingsville, Corpus Christi and McAllen into their main campus
aTm's sole goal was to inflate their research numbers
their leaders sharp and perry are nuts
