"Seem to." Obviously, there is no direct quote, but, collectively, your posting history seems to imply that HCQ shouldn't be administered.

TAMU doesn't give a flying F.
Nor should they.
You wanna guess how many kids over the last decade would have loved for a spot on the A&M campus instead of a stint at Blinn + re-apply?
Truth is, for every parent who thinks they are standing tall by taking their kid off the admission rolls...there are probably 10 parents who will happily send their child in place.
You think you're doing something to make an impact. You are not.makingtrying to make sure your kids aren't brainwashed?
Newsflash, genius. It is not about "hurting" A&M. It is about doing what you feel is best for your kids.BackPocket said:

Well excuuuuuse him, know it all.
It set us apart. But it's gone now, so moot point. Too bad. With all the minority students enrolled in recent years it may have helped their kids down the road, but no more. Knee jerk reactions like this always hurt minorities it seems.ATM9000 said:
Legacy points for a state institution that should be operated for the benefit of the state of Texas above everything else is really problematic.
Rice and Baylor want to do legacy points? Cool... but they really don't belong at places like Texas or Texas A&M.
Funny how you don't hear anything like this happening at LSU or bama.The TC Jester said:
I will be actively rooting against Mond. I hope LSU and Bama annihilate that hate filled racist. Can't wait to watch him sail balls over players heads on routine passes.

I have recruited and hired students from Texas and a few other surrounding universities for 25 years. Trust me when I tell you the hire is about the individual. There Is little to no premium for a particular degree or university. Specific schools deliver general traits in a student, but any company worth it's salt will mix the hires from a range of places to have a range of perspectives. Once a new hire is three years in and trained, most level out, and there are no discernible differences or advantages from a particular degree. The individual moxy and drive is the final difference.AnScAggie said:Not so fast there sport. A&M most likely will maintain a high enrollment, hell it seems like their goal is to hit 100k enrollment anyway. But the difference will become when an A&M degree holds no more weight than a degree from Sam Houston, UTSA or god forbid Sul Ross University, then it will matter.BackPocket said:

I agree up to a point. My wife is a high level exec and at a lot of companies, say Fortune 100 type companies their internship programs, recruitment outreach and career center connections/career fair events seem to be focused around arguably the top 25-50 universities. My wife's last batch of interns here in Texas consisted of students from A&M, tu, Northwestern, Vanderbilt, Penn St. and Florida. I do not believe that a student from Hardin Simmons cannot outperform a student from A&M or Vanderbilt, because they can and many do. But when you're betting, the odds of success professionally (whether that is from a personal or employer perspective) are greater for a student from a top tier university compared to student from a for profit school or small regional school. In 10-20 years it may not matter where you went to school, and based on the cluelessness you see on may campuses and by many current students involved in these protests/riots and that will be rightly deserved, but a year ago, at present and into the foreseeable future the trend holds, better degrees get better initial opportunities. Five to ten years into a career it most likely does not matter.ExPeterKeating said:I have recruited and hired students from Texas and a few other surrounding universities for 25 years.

I know several people who graduated with good GPA's from both Texas and A&M, who are some of the dumbest people I have ever met.AnScAggie said:I agree up to a point.
