For comparison, to automatically qualify for entrance into UT and A&M, you have to be in the top 8% and top 10% of your class.
Texas' population is 7 times greater than Louisiana's population. Texas has over 5 times more graduating high schoolers each year that Louisiana does. The top 10% of that number is about 10,000 more students than get TOPS in Louisiana. By the numbers, the Texas comparison is inapt.

Texas also has over 110 4-year colleges compared to 30 in LA.
