When you talk to Texans about colleges, two come to mind - A&M (the aggies) and UT (the longhorns). It's a huge rivalry between two huge schools. So, if popularity is what constitutes for 'elite', then yes, UT is elite. If you're looking for Ivy League type material, no, UT isn't your typical Ivy Leage school. But true Ivy Leage schools' age is what constitutes for their 'eliteness'. UT is a GREAT school with solid academics and many, many opportunities for all different types of people and their majors. It's a great place to graduate from because it is prestigious in that respect. Hope this helps!
