I went to one of the crazy competitive schools supa is talking about in Katy. I thought it preped me well for college. Well at least how to properly study and prepare.
Had a 4.3. Not too 10% but in the top quarter. I think I got like a 1250-1280 SAT when it was out of 1600. I guess I studied a decent amount but played sports year round as well. I worry what my kids HS experience will be like.
Got into A&M. Not UT. Went to LSU (family history and scholarships) and breezed through my business undergrad in three years. My masters at A&M was also easier than high school. Probably because I generally hated my AP science classes and didn’t have to deal with those in college.
I also bet is supa’s daughter went to mayde creek or Morton she’d probably be choosing between A&M and UT right now.

The first year of engineering courses at A&M is basically an attempt to weed out those who won't cut it. Some like freshman chemistry for engineers are ridiculously hard and a large portion switch majors by sophomore years.
Upper level engineering courses here are on the level of absurdity at times, but by then you've only got the best and brightest still cutting it so the class averages are pretty high.
Medical school was a bit easier IMO than engineering at A&M. You are fed through a fire hydrant in med school but no individual class is as hard as the engineering classes I had.
