mmm… UT is starting to look like UC Berkeley, UVA, UCLA, and UM Ann Arbor…every year…
UC Berkeley has an acceptance rate of about 25%, for OOS it goes down to 10%…
The Caliber of OOS students coming to UT is probably similar to that of the Ivy Caliber School (IE: HYPS+ Brown, Cornell, Rice, Dartmouth, Colombia, U Penn, Duke, UNC, Caltech, etc).
but the top 10% rule is killing out of state admissions, so while the stupid top 10% people may be admitted, most of top 10% kids are bright…
Even if the 10% law is turned void, Most kids will still be from Texas because we pay taxes to fund the state…and UT is owned by the state…so at best for OOS…the 10% rule will be voided after a couple of years between 0-5% OOS admissions, and then it will turn into a UC Berkeley…
They two universities are too similar…Liberal, Diverse, Young People’s city, large, top tier university.
I think those are the biggest most popular Public Universities… the big four:
UCB, UCLA, UM, and UT…probably UNC and UVA too
really and truly, the USNWR rankings only mean so much</p>
