@J2911:
Not really. I just don't know anyone who, as a JH or HS kid who wasn't in sports ever say, after I ask him/her where they want to attend college, University of Houston. Yeah, it's like that.

@jax: I went there, wanted to, and am glad I did. I went through their Honors college, graduated from the business school with an accounting degree, and have had a good job since. It allowed me to work while I went through school, which was something I needed to be able to make ends meet, and wasn't guaranteed if I had gone to Austin, where I was also accepted. I also had grades to get into Rice, but it was too expensive even then. So, even though we don't know each other in real life, you can now say you know someone who went to UH by choice and wasn't there because of sports. By the way, STAAR testing is for middle and high schools, and is not part of any university testing.Â
