nweido, I’m in a same situation as yours except that I never really considered UT as my top choice even though I got accepted there though that infamous “10% rule.”
I visited ND this Saturday and I really appreciated every aspect of ND. I visited UT several times since I live in Dallas and the campus is, indeed, great. But I don’t think UT diploma’s going to get you far as in out-of-state jobs. Sure, you’ll receive a lot of nods if you are applying for any Texas or surrounding states’ jobs, but I don’t think you’ll receive the same advantages ND grads get when you’re applying for jobs in places like NYC or Chicago. Reputation stretches farther than anyone might think.
