UT is a commuter school for woke “minorities” and Texas state transfers.

Nobody really wants to go there this isn’t the 1970’s

Yup, but he scored a 50 in Football and was 3-0 vs. Blow U.


Using Vince Young math he was 3-0, using regular math he was 1-2.

I had a buddy that got in to UPenn, North Carolina, Duke and Dartmouth. He got waitlisted at UGA and it’s likely because he was an out of state student

McCombs is firmly in the Top 10 undergraduate business schools along with Indiana Kelley and a few others like UNC.


Maybe for undergrad and in specific disciplines but I was referencing overall including Graduate programs. In the end it really comes down to who is ranking who (which service) as they all vary.

I’ve always thought state schools should serve the kids of the state. Too many foreigners and Yankees these days

UNC has a hard cap for out of state at 18%. Great for instate students but forcing the tuition to go up as well.

I might not be the sharpest knife in the drawer, and I certainly can't understand what you're talking about. What math? Older sister attended in early 70s, I started in 78. We had 50K students back then. What you talking about Willis?



In your other post you said your FRESHMAN CLASS was 50K.

(as opposed to it being total enrollment)...

I do remember that Texas had 50K for a long time and was the largest University in the country in terms of enrollment for a decade or so until Ohio State, UCF, A&M, and UCF passed it. Mostly because Texas just stayed at 50K and became more competitive.

FL and GA have lottery funded scholarship programs that really made things a lot more competitive

What about that sweet, sweet out of state tuition?
It's capped at 10% statewide in FL but UF is probably closer to 20%.

As a dad of two kids in high school in North Texas and my best friend is a high school counselor in North Texas, Texas is very hard to get into nowadays and has for a while. It’s more like 3%. They just posted the top 10 students for my daughter’s high school. It was 70% Ivy League and then 3 to Texas. My daughters drill team has 3 girls going to UT CAD program which means they didn’t get in but can go to another UT state school and reapply in a year.



This is interesting, I don’t know a single kid in the top 10% at our local high school that applied and didn’t get in


All engineering majors

I believe you, but it’s just not the case

It’s 5% automatic and yes, top 10 helps that you have to have a lot of other shite on your résumé.

I’ll take the word of my good friend who is the head counselor at one of the biggest high schools in North Texas. He speaks with the admissions officers weekly from every major school in the area. He spoke with my daughter for an hour the other night preparing her for her senior year.

Good luck with that lol. Yall seriously don’t know how difficult it is and it’s not top 10%, it’s top 4-5 now.

Easiest way is the schools that academically struggle like the ones in the valley. Sad part of that is those students can sometimes come in very underprepared

Sure, but not every schools business, engineering, etc are worth a damn and thus significantly easier to get into

Clearly he meant total enrollment and you knew that.

Undergrad enrollment is usually around 90% in state or better. That's pretty damn good for a top end public institution like UF.
