Other than Longhrons being athletic, clear-minded, champions on and off the field and patriotic - what's the difference?

SEPT. 3, 2014


Parchment, a company that enables the electronic submission of grade transcripts and other college admission materials, compiled college choices from 104,119 students who have applied for admission since the 2012-2013 academic year. The data show what economists call “revealed preference†— how students chose when admitted to two or more schools.

When interpreting these results, keep in mind that students don’t apply to colleges randomly. For a variety of reasons, including geographical proximity and in-state tuition discounts, students might favor a nearby school over a distant one. Parchment’s service is also used more widely in some states than others, which means the preferences here wouldn’t match a random sample of students nationwide. Still, the numbers for most colleges — including those that tend to draw applicants nationally — are broadly consistent with other data on students’ choices.

Choose a school to see which other schools students preferred:

65% of students picked University of Texas at Austin over Texas A&M University - College Station.

My nephew is in the Top 8% of his graduating class of 700.  He didn't even bother applying to UT because it's such a long-shot to get accepted.  A&M, no problem.

I wouldn't have qualified for UT back in the day with their new high standards!

please beevomav, (i love you pal) but let us not start trying to play the comparison game with texas vs atm players.​

i mean let's be a bit realistic here.  coach charlie strong, has just had to suspend the aforementioned illustrated texas players.  who has coach sumlin suspended this week?​

texas, has a first time starter at quarterback, that could very well place his first start in jeopardy, due to the selflessness as per these two OL players.​

so please, let's not start the comparison fiasco... please!​

Monarch, you're right on the danger now presented to Swoopes. Good point.

However, you morphed into a Strong-Sumlin comparison. There isn't one. Sumlin is reactive to what it seems law enforcement gets involved with. Strong is proactive and disciplines without the need for law enforcement involvement.
