    Nice.

    Now we're slightly better than DeVry and ITT Tech.


    All this thanks in part to me, who raised UH's collective intelligence by several IQ points.

    You're welcome.

    Research is driven by the graduate students they take in and the faculty that do the research

    Make your undergrad students better quality, and UH will get Tier One status eventually

    Chicken and the egg argument. How do they make their undergrad students better without improving marketable features? Closing the open admissions will improve selectivity but they'll still have a long way to go.

    More research money brings better faculty. Better faculty/programs/departments should bring in better students. Sidenote: UH of all schools should really be milking the proximity to the energy industry; instead most jobs go to fresh UT or A&M grads.

    I invite all Aggies & Longhorns to unite, as one, to collectively spit on these chumps. Stop trying. Nobody likes you. Mwuahahhaaha.

    I guess now UH will want to tighten up its admission requirements and turn into a private university like TU.
