is TAMU is a better research institution than MIT and Berkeley? because TAMU reported more research dollars than both.


everyone knows aTm took their system/all medical research throughout the state and added it to their College Station research totals to inflate their numbers

Its all good, just make sure you include that in your boast, as The UT System dwarfs aTm in research, and UT only includes research numbers for each individual campus

Not talking about you, but this thread proves some people not associated with A&M give a great many fricks about where A&M is ranked


ill never understand why people care about rankings...especially the kinds of people that go into the types of majors the schools in the SEC are good at

for example...if you are going for engineering....why do you care if a bunch of NE liberal universities, that only offer liberal arts degree, are ranked ahead.

in the end once you get into the workforce...you will determine how far you advance.

Texas A&M was ranked above Rice (which is private) and did not intend to infer Rice is public

A&M education you say?

I provided an actual link that actually proves that you were just making up a lie, yet you keep repeating that lie

This is almost the same as you UTrans students choosing to create new genders for yourselves

No way. UT TAs are all BJJ black belts with extensive street fighting experience. It's in the requirements for the position.

Agree. You shouldn’t care about rankings outside of your field of interest.

Take Business schools for example. I know that LSU had a top notch internal audit department back in the day that was very influential in getting students jobs at Big 4 Acct. Firms. That type of specific strength is not reflected in overall rankings.

But I do think that this new approach of evaluating salaries and outcomes vs just historical prestige is useful for prospective students.

I can't speak for anyone else, but it's not the rankings themselves ... it's the absurdity of the claim in general.

And I don't actually care. I know lots of fine Aggies; I'm just obligated to give them shite on the internet.

If they keep score, people want to win & some paid handsomely to earn their degrees.. or in this case some people like to point out Old Marge is a degenerate troll.

Reality is that UT is a top 50-75 research university in the world and A&M is barely top 200. On the other side of that coin is the reality that a lot of what goes on in the elite US university research labs is nothing to be proud of. UT's GNL lab in particular will receive/spend more $ than everything aggy combined, but there is a moral price to pay in my opinion (DoD & CCP).

And yet every source and database says this claim is 100% false

Aggy is ranked 16th in the US and UTrans doesn’t crack the top 25

I have a masters degree in Geology from the Jackson School of Geosciences, you know, one of the top programs in the world. I also have a handful of t-shirts and zero pics of dildos saved on my computer.
