Not sure what Houston's enrollment is for the Fall semester, but North Texas was about 17 students shy of 38,000. UTA has really moved up. Good school. And Texas State has a huge enrollment too!
43,797

looks like it would be a-m, ut-austin, houston, and then uta. dont know what the numbers are for tech but tech, untexas and txst would all be close for the next spot. I guess we would be the second largest school in the B12.
Seems that UTA, TXST and UNT routinely change places for #4/5 in Texas.
from at least 2000 north Texas state was 4th and Texas State was 5th and then in 2014 Texas State moved ahead and north Texas state was 5th until this year when UTA moved to 4th and Texas State back to 5th and north Texas state 6th
it will probably continue this way for a bit until either Texas State or UTA tighten admissions which both should start considering
and there is a chance that Texas Tech could move up to 6th as well in the next couple of years it depends on how hard they recruit and also on how much north Texas state continues to somewhat lower admissions standards with their guaranteed admissions for being in the top 20% of the HS class for "select" school districts (I think that might backfire to a degree, but who knows)
Texas State is adding the right degree plans to attract top quality students and if they can get graduate enrollment up they should be able to grow still without sacrificing quality and outcome
I think bumping the admissions slightly after letting it be known it is coming would be a benefit as well.....UH had a slight increase even after they went up for 2011 and then when they went up for 2014 they still had an increase
UH of course announced both increases well ahead of time which contrast to UTSA that announced and then did it quickly and lost a couple of thousand students and has not recovered from that yet
the key is selling it properly and getting students prepared for it
and total FTEs for 2015 UTA are 24,737 and Texas State 31,039 that is graduate and undergrad with undergrad being 15 hours and graduate being 9 hours the 2016 numbers will probably not be out for a while
(edit for the UH admissions increase years and FTEs)
