But our "system" is not the same as TAMU. Only College Station and Galveston are Aggies. Also, many of our "system" schools have their own identities and their own athletic departments. Most of the A&M-Corpus Christi students that I see are more likely to be t-shirt 'sip fans, and couldn't give a rats arse about the Aggies. But then they try to "use" our name - frick 'em! And, many of the "system" schools have minimal academic standards that are not anywhere near what TAMU and TAMU-G require.
Agreed. A&M's system has been expanding a lot in the last few decades. We built a campus in Qatar, bought Tarlton University, bought a dentistry school (Baylor College of Dentistry), and are in the process of buying a law school (Texas Wesleyan). All of these schools developed independently of A&M (except Qatar).

Tarleton State University has actually been part of TAMUS since 1917.

Thanks, for clarifying. I meant the guaranteed acceptance, but did not make that clear. By no means did I suggest they would qualify for financial aid by being in top 10% .That is a whole different ball game.
Our son attended TCU, and made his home in Texas after graduation. Ironically, he is excited for TCU to join Big XII conference and we (both graduates of Mizzou) are excited to be a part of SEC conference!
