Although I love data, in this case those acceptance numbers don't tell the whole story. The top 10% acceptance rule is so widely publicized that I suspect Texas high school seniors who are well outside the top 10% are strongly discouraged by their guidance counselors from even applying to UT or A&M. So although TAMU's acceptance rate looks high relative to USC or Clemson, the overall pool of applicants has much higher qualifications. Again, this is just because a lot of applicants already know they don't have a snow ball's chance and don't bother to apply there.
