UT-Austin has an enrollment of 40K in a state with almost 350,000 high school grads in 2021. It is in no way a 'last resort' college and is in fact at the top of the UT system in terms of exclusivity and admission requirements. There are a variety of other UT campuses around the state with lower admission requirements and a similarly lower academic ranking. You are correct that Texas is an outlier though, it has one of the lowest graduation rates in the country.
- pnutjam 5y agoYeah, that's what I was trying to say. Contrast that with Indiana who guarantees all high school graduate admission to Ivy Tech. Texas is offering a way better deal and driving opportunity for a diverse group of students.
