re: Size of each SEC schools enrollment

Also it is true that to attend one of the Texas state schools, a Texan must rank in top 10% of their HS graduating class.

Wrong. The 10% rule states that if a HS student is in the top 10% of their class they are guaranteed enrollment at any of the state's public universities. (It does not guarantee any form of financial aid or acceptance into any particular program, though.)

What happened is that A&M and Texas got overloaded with applicants. Texas managed to get the rule slightly modified to where they could stop at the top 8%.
