These are probably the stats for incoming freshmen.
No, they are the total institutional number from Texas A&M's internal department. Readily available on the A&M website.

Texas A&M is the only top 20 rated research institution between the east coast and west coast and has very large numbers of graduate students also known as "Graduate Assistants". Graduate Assistants tutor and interact very regularly with undergraduates. The Graduate Assistants come from every state in the US and every continent except Antartica. Many of them are Veterans.
This is undergraduate only, which is how institutions are judged on this sort of thing. Graduate programs are totally different and are almost all made up of kids from out of state/country because of a variety of reasons.

If you graduated from a University with a significant research program you would have understood the importance of Graduate Assistants and their diverse background.
Texas A&M is a Land Grant, Sea Grant, and Space Grant University. To say that the students interact with almost no one from outside the State of Texas is ludicrous.

This is a very misleading statistic.
UT Austin does not have a medical school, one of the few top-tier public universities for which that is the case.
That will soon change, so those numbers for UT Austin will go up.
Additionally, several UT System medical schools rank in the top 50 for research. So if you combined any of the three with UT Austin (a move that would make John Sharp proud), then the numbers would be inflated and the aggies would be in second place in the state.
Again.
