Why does A&M fall so far behind Texas with regards to applications? Doesn't A&M have a larger enrollment than Texas? Seems odd Texas has so many more applicants than A&M and accepts less.

I started college in the Fall of 1990 and Texas was right around 50k. We had about 40k. We have room to grow though. Texas has their 40 acres surrounded on all sides by Austin. We have over 5,200 acres. There's no telling how big we will get to be in decades to come. On the other hand, unless they start building sky scrapers, Texas has maxed out how many students they can have.
