texag7,

Please do not attempt to compare A&M and Vandy academics ever again. A&M is widely seen as a backup to UT-Austin and does not even enjoy second tier academic status behind Vandy in the SEC (that honor belongs to UF and UGA).

Go ahead and google A&M's average SAT / ACT scores, then lets see your academic braggadocio.

I can understand some people thinking UF is as good or better. But UGA? Nah. Y’all 4th.

Texas A&M is widely regarded as a fine academic institution. It is typically rated slightly ahead of Georgia.

UGA has higher ACT and SAT scores, a significantly better ranking via U.S. News, lower acceptance rates, and a higher average GPA. In other words, UGA is far better than A&M according to virtually every relevant metric. Sorry, what is your counterargument again? The word "nah" does not suffice as a viable rebuttal. Of course, I did not expect much more from an A&M grad, sorry you couldn't make it into Austin.

UGA has higher standardized test and GPA scores, lower acceptance rates, and is rated higher according to U.S. News. I have never heard of the websites that you just cited. I am not sure where you are from, but A&M is widely viewed as a backup to schools like UGA, UF, UT-Austin, UNC, etc. Do not kid yourself, A&M has a 66% acceptance rate, absolutely embarrassing.

US News is a tabloid.

It uses class size and peer institution opinions to rank universities. Something like 30% of their ranking consists of opinions

They’re sites that people in education pay attention to. So that probably explains why you’re unaware.

The Aggie’s athletic “accomplishments” are an embarrassment to the conference. It is high time we rethink their admission into the brotherhood of the SEC.
