<p>That is one reason why I am fascinated by the UT vs. Texas A&M comparison.
Not having attended either - I still find it interesting to look at the numbers</p>
<p>UT and A&M have similar cost (A&M slightly cheaper)
They are almost exactly the same size, and in the same state (less than 2 hours apart)
UT has somewhat higher test scores (25/31 vs 23/29)
They have similar percentage engineering students (14% A&M vs. 12%)
UT has much more selective students by class rank
Graduation rates are very similar.
A&M students have higher long term salaries. Undergraduate outcomes seem as good generally.</p>
<p>That makes no sense unless Texas A&M is doing some things very well</p>
