Texas is very difficult to get into from out of state.
It's tough to get into in-state as well. Lots of very smart kids from around my hood have been rejected.

you probably know, but UT accepts something like 10% of their freshman class from out of state and Carolina accepts up to 18%It's tough to get into in-state as well. Lots of very smart kids from around my hood have been rejected.
It is hard, but he is good at it.Nido builds a new "academic" building each year. It can't be too hard.
Interesting read - thanks for posting, I hadn't seen that one. It has certainly been something to witness over the past couple decades.It is hard, but he is good at it.
How to Sell a University
Nido Qubein remade High Point University from a struggling college to booming campus known for “wow” amenities. He’s not done yet.www.theassemblync.com
That's not an accurate number for tuition, which next year will be $67,642. The "91K" is the estimated total cost of attendance, including tuition, housing, food, books, etc.Tuition moving from ~80k to 91k starting next year. Could be related?
It was only a matter of time before a college would have the nerve to quote its cost of attendance at nearly $100,000 a year. This spring, we’re catching our first glimpse of it.
One letter to a newly admitted Vanderbilt University engineering student showed an all-in price — room, board, personal expenses, a high-octane laptop — of $98,426. A student making three trips home to Los Angeles or London from the Nashville campus during the year could hit six figures.
This eye-popping sum is an anomaly. Only a tiny fraction of college-going students will pay anything close to this anytime soon, and about 35 percent of Vanderbilt students — those who get neither need-based nor merit aid — pay the full list price.
But a few dozen other colleges and universities that reject the vast majority of applicants will probably arrive at this threshold within a few years. Their willingness to cross it raises two questions for anyone shopping for college: How did this happen, and can it possibly be worth it?
Who Pays What
According to the College Board, the average 2023-24 list price for tuition, fees, housing and food was $56,190 at private, nonprofit four-year schools. At four-year public colleges, in-state students saw an average $24,030 sticker price.
That’s not what many people pay, though, not even close. As of the 2019-20 school year, according to federal data that the College Board used in a 2023 report, 39 percent of in-state students attending two-year colleges full time received enough grant aid to cover all of their tuition and fees (though not their living expenses, which can make getting through school enormously difficult). At four-year public schools, 31 percent paid nothing for tuition and fees while 18 percent of students at private colleges and universities qualified for the same deal.
Those private colleges continue to provide hefty discounts for people of all sorts of incomes. A National Association of College and University Business Officers study showed private nonprofit colleges and universities lowering their tuition prices by 56 percent from the rack rate during the 2022-23 school year...
I'm the retired préfet de police for the city of Casablanca. I live in Paris now in a tiny apartment on the Ile St. Louis. It's divine.CaptRenault - are you a university employee?
Nor indications of an on-campus basketball facility. So you still need to hide your keys.Still no monorail
I see students walking to/from football and basketball frequently. Not a ton of students, but a decent number. I think making it easier to cross University is a great idea, especially if it is bike/scooter/etc friendly.The Winston Salem Journal published an article in March about the proposed development. The graphic contains a few details that I haven't seen before.
The pedestrian crossing where University and Cherry St. separate is OK, but it seems based on an overly optimistic belief that students would consider walking from campus to Wake's athletic complex.
