<p>Jacob, I’m not at UT, I’m a parent who has a kid in the MPA program in McCombs and another who will be in the EE program in Cockrell next year. </p>
<p>Yes, they are fundamentally different kids. But, the one who is in McCombs was a valedictorian, with amazing stats, who very easily could have gained admission to EE and most likely excelled, accounting just suits him better; the one who will be doing EE is a salutatorian, with amazing stats, who could have gone to McCombs, but chose EE because it suits him better.</p>
<p>To say that EE students are somehow smarter, or that: </p>
<p>
</p>
<p>is simply not true. Nor is it true that accounting is easy.</p>
<p>And to say that:</p>
<p>
implying that business cannot be intellectually challenging :rolleyes:</p>
<p>is speaking out of his a@@. :)</p>
<p>Both statements are unfair characterizations, over generalized, and patently unfair to people who choose McCombs. Nuff said.</p>
