And they have done a shitty job about making the improvements. They earned their reputation as not so great universities and haven't increased entrance requirements. They're getting the same lazy arse kids that couldn't get in to A&M and tu that they always have.

That crazy. I'm all for Arkansas growing some, as long as that growth comes with increased research, increased $ and real benefits to the local and state economy. Otherwise, I see no point in having 30,000 students in Fayetteville.

Yeah definitely, that's why you still see so many kids going to Arkansas, OU, LSU, OM, Bama, etc. which seem like they are stepping their game up. I would prefer to keep those kids in state but the second tier of public schools here is just so far behind
OU really has always had a ton of kids from TX though and to a lesser extent so have LSU and Arkansas. It's Bama and Ole Miss that really seem to be taking more. I feel live I've heard of a lot more kids going to schools like Arizona, ASU, Ok State lately as well from Houston

Literally?
I can say with complete sincerity that an overwhelming majority of students in Texas don't want to leave.
Those who do typically do b/c they were unable to gain admittance to one of the best universities in the state.
That's not meant to be snarky, it's just the truth.
Nothing about our in-state numbers surprises me.

Probably because they would bully you

aTm has become the #1 safety school in Texas, literally anyone can get in, as they have become a diploma mill
they have 70% plus admissions, so you have to really be stupid not to get in
anyhow, college station is a pure dump
Muschamp said it best
"You ever been to College Station?" Muschamp said. "It'll be the only time you go."

You could not get into Texas A&M if you applied.

Acceptance rates are a skewed metric and a bad one to go by for most schools. Schools like Florida tell tons of students to apply that aren't even close to being in their requirements just to deny them and keep that % low.
With Alabama's new found love for OOS enrollment, in-state students are getting denial letters while OOS students are getting acceptance letters, all about that paper.

I would agree, but thats not the case for aTm
in the last 5-10 years,
aTm has seen its school ranking go down and its enrollment skyrocket from 40's to 60k, with a goal of 80k, thats crazy!
at the same time, their average test scores have dropped while their admission rates have increased
ask any aggie, this was all done by design,with the goal of 25k engineering students and 80k total students
just watch aTm in the next 5 years as their school reputation will continue to plummet as they only strive for greater enrollment
in short, politicians and administrators have turned a pretty good school into a diploma mill and high school students in Texas are well aware of this

It's because reasonably normal, not poor kids in a bunch of states go:

This is especially true with the laws in Texas.
A&M must accept every in state high school graduate in the top 10%. A&M also accepts any HS graduate in the top 25% that scores a 1300 or 30 on the SAT & ACT (with minimums for each section). Knowing that going in, anyone who applies meeting those standards are in. These kids make up the large majority that get in to A&M yearly.

So basically MSU = flagship?

What a crock of shite.
These are probably the stats for incoming freshmen.
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.

Speak for yourself, aghole.
The University of Texas at Arlington and Dallas are very well-regarded institutions, and along with UT-San Antonio, the UT board of regents has funneled lots and lots of money to them.
In other words, UT is adopting the University of California system method: making the main campus more exclusive (and smaller) while growing the other campuses.
Meanwhile, in College Station, John Sharp is hoarding all the money that is supposed to be used for the entire A&M System, and letting Commerce, Kingsville and the rest rot on the vine.
That way you ****s can log in on the Internet and brag about a $10.5 billion endowment (which is not exclusive to College Station, it's the entire system, that was another John Sharp lie), 75,000 students (biggest in Texas by any means necessary).
All while having a 70-plus percent admission rate and shitty system schools. Oh, and a plummeting US News ranking for the College Station campus.
Your aggie hubris will (again) be your downfall.

Not really. Yes, Alabama turns a lot of in-state kids away just simply because most every kid sends an application to Tuscaloosa, even if they don't have the grades.
But if you have decent grades, its not difficult to get accepted to Alabama. While Alabama shows a lower acceptance rate compared to Auburn, I know plenty of Auburn graduates who've had to watch their kids enroll at Alabama simply because their kids didn't have the grades to get into Auburn, but were accepted into Alabama.
Alabama is not turning down any quality in-state kids in favor of out of state kids. If you have semi-decent grades, you can enroll at Alabama.
