[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]As long as they are admitting the very top students from Texas, I think they can do whatever they like. If you live in another state, you should already know that it is very hard to get into Texas-Austin.[/quote]

Aren't the admissions decisions for Texas kids delayed too though? Imagine being a Texas kid who applied mostly to Texas schools, now in limbo and wondering how many more schools to apply to.[/quote]
Are you from Texas? It’s really easy to get into other Texas schools. Most UT students could count A&M as a safety, and if they like college towns but are more progressive Texas state is a really nice school too that you can practically walk into. Texan colleges are not hard to get into other than UT.[/quote]

A&M is actually pretty hard to get in to. Lots of TX kids get denied, especially in difficult majors. (A&M has rolling admissions and top 10% auto admit). A&M is not a safety for anyone.
They say they have a 60% admit rate outside of auto admit, but that's not really true, because they offer alternative pathways to admission that are not main campus admits and include that in their admit rate.[/quote]
