<p>UT is 14 spots ahead of A&M. that’s seems like a pretty big difference. and while it is true that both UT and A&M have their strengths in different fields, UT is better because it’s rated better “overall.”</p>

<p>oh, well since U.S. News “is an inherently imperfect ranking system,” i guess it means that Harvard and Princeton aren’t as good as we all think they are. besides, you even said yourself, “They are very good at putting schools into the rough area they belong in…” if A&M was at like 48 or 50, then there wouldn’t be any fuss about which is better. but, like i said before, UT is 14 spots above A&M. that’s a pretty big gap</p>
