A&M grads seem to do a lot better career wise than UGA grade according to recent reports. Texas is a huge state compared to Georgia. I've lived in Texas since I graduated college and A&M isn't a diploma mill. The state forces A&M to accept students in top 10% who have taken the required advanced high school courses. Then after general admisssion, prospective students have to apply to the college that houses the major they hope to study (ex: engineering or business). Engineering takes it one step further- students must complete required courses their freshman year and then apply for their desired engineering major- ex: chemical, petroleum, electrical, civil, computer, etc. My kid is going there in the Fall and all of the high school classmates attending A&M are also kids who have above 4.0 gpa, lots of AP classes, gifted and talented program, etc. In Texas, the smart kids go to A&M, UTa, and Rice.
