I've heard that UT-Arlington is harder to get into.
I still don't want to see UT-Dallas or University of Houston get it. It would be beneficial for the whole state if they had more flagship schools across the state instead of located in the Austin/DFW/Houston area. There is more to Texas than just those 3 cities. Besides I haven't heard anything special about UT-Dallas nor U of H for it to be chosen.
UTEP has a VERY strong engineering program, as well as nursing program. UTEP is also really big into research labs & such. Recently, El Paso just got a medical school (the Paul L. Foster Medical School) but I believe that is part of the Texas Tech umbrella and not part of UTEP.
I'm not gonna say that UTEP matchs up to A&M or UT, but it would be nice to have a little recognition for our academics. But I doubt that they will pick UTEP.
