As far as I'm concerned, the courts and Guv. Dubya screwed everything up about a prestigious academic career in Texas. You make app with a pool assigned paperwork. Top 10% of ALL schools not top 10% of ALL pupils gets a chance at a state university whether you are ready or not. The courts ruled that grades alone do not form the criteria. The Aggies have a perverted delight in Algebra I, II, III, IV. The Longhorns have a social nightlife. The Aggies used to have better athletic scouts, but this top 10% for everybody has given the 'Horns more talent to choose from. Better Engineering school? About the same. The Aggies seem to have preserved their old brotherhood better than the 'Horns have.

U Texas Austin has the higher ranked engineering program, but both U Texas Austin and Texas A&M are top 15 programs. Your grades are good for both schools, but your SATs are just a touch on the lower end of the average for U Texas Austin. They're right in the average for Texas A&M. It is possible that you'd be accepted into both of them.
