University of Texas Recruitment 2017

Batten down those hatches PVGord and stay safe.

Since I have lived in various parts of the US during my adult life, I have consistently encountered two things concerning flagship universities.

1. Some graduates of those schools have a hard time believing that in-state students with similar grades and resumes' would choose to go elsewhere for college. They automatically assume those students weren't admitted.

2. Those graduates have a strong need to make sure others know their alma mater is a flagship or public ivy. Anyone ever read "The Sneetches" by Dr. Suess?

I'm not assuming. I have years of experience with kids going elsewhere because they are not admitted to UT. Texas is really proud of it's status, as evidenced by the out-sized attitude of UT alum the world over.

This is getting old so I'm happy to capitulate: If you think that Alabama, Ole Miss and Arkansas students are of equal academic caliber to UT students, we can just let that stand.

"Its" is the correct word. "It's" is the contraction for "it is."

Public high school, OOS university.
