It must really hurt that Aggies started a Law School and in just a few years are passing the Texas Bar exam at the highest rate of any school in Texas. So much for vaunted tu law school.
I obtained my law degree at Texas. Not easy. a&m has a lot of great programs, and I am not going to knock their law school, which was not established yet when I was in school.
But touting a law school’s higher initial Bar passage rate, by itself, is not necessarily the flex that you think it is. There are a number of law schools, which in order to get more attention (by advertising a high in-state Bar passage rate,) spend a lot of time “teaching to the test” as an early Bar review course. We used to call such schools “black letter law schools.”
“Black letter law” can and does change. Law schools like Texas utilize a broad and varied curriculum designed to impart critical thinking skills, teaching students to “think like a lawyer” and flexibly defend their positions in a variety of future situations. That leaves law grads with more responsibility to prep for their Bar exams on their own.
Texas Law grads do just fine in later life…

Very true, here’s the article about it.
Chick-fil-A pays its employees an average of $12.92 per hour, which is higher than McDonald's average of $12.33 per hour. This combination of pricing and employee compensation suggests that Chick-fil-A may offer a premium experience compared to McDonald's.

Of course a Texas fan pretending to be a gator fan jumps immediately to fast food jobs when discussing degree compensation.

It is all that he is capable of understanding. He has been in that situation and has experience in it.

I love it when people ask questions on here that they are perfectly capable of looking up themselves. Really makes them look stupid.
Oh sorry, I see you are a bama fan. Never mind

Yeah Aggie alum Beaver Aplin seems to have done quite well serving fast foods at his Buccee’s chain of stores. Lol

Texas Tech was the highest before that.
You truly know not what you are talking about. This is highly reflective of a law school being set up to run like a trade school - with the only goal to pass a test.
But do your thing.

Your take is 'tarded.
Aggie is top 5 in the SEC for academics. Maybe even top 2-3.

I was not sure Texas needed another law school being so well served by Texas, SMU, Baylor, Tech, UofH, etc.
But A&M did do a nice job infusing the old Texas Wesleyan with lots of cash, sprucing up the faculty, playing the rankings game, etc.
Whether it produces great lawyers . . .time will tell.

It's not a joint effort on behalf of the State of Texas anymore. It's a competition with the Jones.
UTexas should start a Vet School.

Some of these schools are on limited acreage and are becoming more urban than I care for.
Agreed.
I was accepted to both Texas A&M and that Unvieristy in Austin for Mechanical Engineering. The homeless encampments around the 40 acres in Austin gave it kind of a dump vibe.
The A&M campus was a lush green suburban park by comparison.

3 of the top 4 have also won National Championships in football this century

And National football championships don’t educate or provide a job for the average student. The Aggie former student network is the best in the world at that.
