UTD common date set stats are better than UT Arlington and North Texas.
@BingeWatcher UTD common data set is better than University of Arizona as well but University of Arizona is still ranked higher and considered more prestigious. What determines a good school is more than the quality of the students they attract … you have to look at quality of professors, innovative programs, research initiatives, affordability, diversity & inclusion, location, etc
The best schools in Texas depends on the person and what he/she is looking for.
best schools are based on usnews for national universities is rice then smu and ut-austin are tied. Lastly, trinity in san antonio are excellent choices. Many of the private schools i mentioned offer great scholarship opportunities and then obviously ut austin is cheap for in state.
