<p>It’s really not that straightforward. If you are only looking in terms of undergrad quality/selectivity, then that’s probably accurate. However, in terms of overall institutional strength (program rankings and faculty quality) UT Austin is the strongest in Texas by quite a wide margin. Essentially all of UT’s departments are ranked as the strongest in the state, and among the top in the country. No other school in the state has as many highly ranked academic departments and professional schools, or library and museum collections, resources, etc.</p>
