A&M, UT ranked among top thirty schools by Washington Monthly
By Jim Dallas
Yes, the US News and World Report once again overlooks Texas's public universities, but Washington Monthly says Texas A&M (No. 7) and UT-Austin (No. 23) are good for America.
(Psst... and if the Legislature doesn't cough up more money, the terrorists have already won.)

How does A&M get a higher ranking than us?
Its the methodology they used.
They used three factors
Community Service, favors A&M
Research, toss up
Social Mobility, favors A&M
Using the methodology A&M outranks UT because of the Corp of Cadets.
Frankly though, as much as UT people want to think otherwise, A&M and UT arent that far apart anymore.
That said unless Texas does something, both will start losing ground on other top state universities.
