Holy shite you just referenced a Luminosity study as academic smack 
You do realize what Lumniosity is right?
Hint: The answer has nothing to do with identifying academic success.

This is probably the worst academic smack talk thread ever of the SECrant.

That study is so flawed I don't even know where to begin. For starters the sample size is variable between groups and their minimum is 50 students, assumed from email addresses or IP domains. In other words, that includes university staff in addition to students with no way to filter them out.
Additionally, 50 students would represent 0.1% of the A&M student body, and you would need a much larger sample size to obtain a statistically meaningful result and properly compare results with schools of smaller enrollments, like those listed in the top 50.
Furthermore, this list is more analogous to ranking universities based on standard test scores of the student body, which is incredibly flawed since you could obtain a similar looking list simply by ranking schools according to their student test score minimum requirement. It factors in nothing of how well the university in question educated its students or how well those students are prepared for the workforce upon graduation.
Summary: using this study as proof of A&M's academic inferiority is both ignorant and incredibly idiotic. You sir, are a dumbass.

LSU doesn't brag about our academics. Tulane is one of the fricking Ivy League of the South schools.
UT is your biggest rival. Big difference.
I specifically said not to go looking for LSU.

This study is on the intelligence level of the student body.
Actually it does no such thing. You can't even verify that a single person associated with Texas A&M was included in their database. ... It is data based of a fricking game an you are trying to act like it is some sort of scientific study.

Give it up ... the retards in LA can't understand half the words you types. They have no clue what the term "statistically meaningful" actually means

I would assume Vandy has more stringent acceptance requirements than TAMU. Given their student body is 1/4 - 1/5 the size of TAMU's, their range of "intelligence" would of course be narrow. A school of TAMU's size would of course be much larger. Sociology or Ag Development aren't exactly brain buster majors. I would however, say that engineering and vet grads coming out of TAMU, would have the upper hand over a respectove Vandy grad competing for the same position. Especially petroleum engineers.

Okay, okay you guys fricking win. I didn't think you'd get this upset.

If you knew what a joke it was you wouldn't have made the thread. Nice backpedaling.
And its hilarious that you're saying we're upset. Every post I have ever seen you make has been anti A&M. You sure do seem threatened.

LSU "academics" is a training program for roustabouts.
