UT is hands down the best school in all of Texas. I know this doesnt relate to the recent discussion but to the earlier posts. Yes it is true that UT employs the top 10% rule and enrolls close to 9000 kids a year, but it is due to Texas mandate. I am number 5/940 in my school and ill be the first to tell you taht top 10% rule is ********, there are many kids who are dumb as hell who get into UT because of this rule. Even though there are a fraction of students at UT who are indeed idiots, UT also houses the second most national merit finalists in the nation and lots of other brilliant kids. The BBA program is top notch, the engineering program is great as well and if you check as years go by it has only gotten better and will continue to get better. UT has an eclectic mix of students many dumb many very intelligent, and from what ive heard from UT students, the dumb kids eventually get weeded out and switch to some cop-out major. That being said, i am not commited UT it is my safety but still Its a great environment and a very high caliber school

P.s.- A&M is just like highschool all over again, same kids same stuff, loads of dumb ppl!
