[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I thought that universities in places like Texas were going to DIE?!!!!!! That no female EVER would apply to somewhere in that regressive hellhole?[/quote]

Well my DD and all of her friends would never apply there.  Same for my DS and his friends (male or female), because well, they don't want to live in a regressive state where it's challenging to get medical care you or your loved ones want.

Where the heck do you live? I live in DC and my teens and friends (a mix of private and public juniors and seniors) from upper NW would love to live in Austin. They're not making college decisions based on abortion care. I mean, really?  :roll:  :roll: [/quote]
I think pp's attitude is a big part of the reason why schools like UT (and Florida, and South Carolina, and so on) are exploding in popularity. Normal people don't think like that. They want to stay away from that mindset. [/quote]

YUP. 
DC liberals: "Texas is bad.  BAD i tell you!!!!!."
Their kids: "Mom, you're nuts"

If I had a dollar for every NW DC kid I PERSONALLY know who applied to Texas I could buy myself a Chipotle burrito for lunch today.  [/quote]

You are completely full of shit.  This has nothing to do with politics, but almost nobody from my kid's upper NW DC school applied to Texas...nor did any of their friends at Walls, JR, Sidwell and GDS.

Probably because the odds for OOS acceptance to Texas-Austin are pretty bleak. It's usually the CS and engineering kids that take their shot at Texas. And Sidwell, GDS and other privates don't produce a lot of future engineers or CS majors. But those private school students are definitely applying to Duke, Vanderbilt, Rice, UVA, Emory and other southern schools. The people that refuse to study south of the Mason Dixon line because of politics are a very small minority. Applications to southern schools - including Texas - have exploded in recent years.
