To UTSASTUD, where did you get those UT rankings? In the U.S. News reports the different UT's are not comparable because they are in different classes than one another. Some are national universities (UT Arlington, ELP) and others are "lesser" regional ones (San Antonio, Permian Basin).

There is a UT-Houston.... it's all biomedical related though, they have a medical school.

Yeah I know that, but I meant a full-scale university like they have in Arlington, not a medical school in Galveston.

UTSA is going to need to transcend its local/commuter/settling image if it hopes to move up in the rankings. Berkeley and UCLA are the top UC campuses, but most others manage to rank in higher tiers than UTSA. The growth needs to be more concentrated and discerning to matter on a national scale.

I agree, Livinglikeagradstudent. ALL SEVEN of the UC schools are several CATEGORIES higher than UTSA, let alone rankings within those categories. I totally agree that UTSA needs to shed the local commuter image. The 99% acceptance rate (check the listings--this is the actual rate for 2007) is a big part of the problem.

UTD and UTA don't even rank that highly compared to the UC system. UTD is Tier III and UTA is Tier III, lower.

UT Austin is Tier I, ranked very high but none of the others do as well. UTSA has the potential, and is not using it--there are some very bright students here. Many of us were in CAP Freshman year and decided to stay.

But for me, UTSA isn't moving up fast enough.

Located in the Texas Medical Center, UT-Houston includes the Medical School, the Dental Branch, the Graduate School of Biomedical Sciences, the School of Public Health, the School of Nursing, the School of Health Information Sciences, the Institute of Molecular Medicine for the Prevention of Human Diseases.

UT-Galveston and its medical school is a whole separate campus.

Okay, okay, but how about more schools than just medical related. That is what I mean.

In the span of only 4-5 years UTSA has gone from a regional school with no rankings, to one of the non-ranked national universities ( as determined in the latest US News World/Report ratings) with multiple programs now achieving a national ranking. UTSA is enjoying a push to Tier 1, a push to expand physical teaching space, as well as expanded research programs and an expanding campus with a 31K plus student body and set a new record during this current fall semester. This place is literally bursting at the seams.
