Not sure about UF


Ours are nebulous too. In my limited experience, it seems to me at schools that are allowed to pick and choose, attitudes change by the year. I've seen the same college at a university (not UF) focus on standardized test scores one year, then treat them like the most worthless metric around the next year, and then go back to weighing them heavily the year after. I don't know enough to say whether that was ultimately logical, but it isn't uncommon at all, particularly in grad admissions.

Geez, you really do know everything. Even how a horrible ex-Prez would have done had he attended A&M a few decades ago as opposed to the pi**-poor school he did attend.

You sir, are a wizard.

I bet it's more than that, but it's definitely a lot less than other engineering fields.

Thats just what I remembered, I asked about that degree in my college search, but wasn't interested enough in the degree to make it instrumental in my final decision.

Missouri and Texas A&M are AAU members and should be ahead of Georgia.

I may have gone to UF, but seriously academic ranking arguments in the SEC are a cripple fight...

Either you're a horrible troll, or you're a complete idiot.

Athens is by far the best college town in the country. Texas A&M is a joke, run by oil tycoons.

As an impartial observer, I'm going with A&M being a better school than Georgia. I had never heard of Georgia being a top notch public institution until I started reading this board. I think those outside of the SEC would agree.



The same can be said of "Mizzou." I didn't even know what town your University was in until you joined the SEC.
