Thought I'd spam UT propaganda here...
Univ of Texas is #15 public and always in the top 50 schools in the county.
Within a few weeks the horrific "top 10% rule" will be abolished and Texas's admissions standards (already very high) will soar.
UT has billions upon billions in cash (indeed the MOST in the world) it is currently burning through that money, basically building one of the most impressive campuses in the world (trust me).
The ultimate plan by President Bill Powers is to create a "Public Ivy" league of schools with greats like UT, GA, FL, Vandy, and so on.
Point being, UT intends to be the top public school in the nation within the decade, and in the top ten overall in the same span. Bill Powers intends to spend near 20-25 Billion rapidly to achieve this. As a TX House staffer i've had a first hand look at the construction and academic plans that are truly staggering in their size and ambition.
I've my hack hat on yes, but trust me, the money about to be spent in Austin (a supremely entertaining and indeed open left wing city) is truly massive.
