Can everyone who's interviewed or going to interview write down how you are going to each of your interviews and how fast did it take you? And yes, I have looked through the feedback section but it doesn't give details like starting point, what highways/routes people took, etc etc.

Allow me to start:
1.) UT-H: I started from Baltimore, flying Southwest to Houston (approximately 2.5 hours), and then stayed the night in a Comfort Inn Suites. Took a cab to the campus (about 14 miles, 30 bucks).

2.) UT-SA: I started from Dallas, flying Southwest to San Antonio (approximately 1 hour), and took a cab to the campus (about 10 miles, 20 bucks).

3.) UT-Galveston: I am going to start from Baltimore, fly Southwest to Houston (approximately 2.5 hours) and then drive for approximately 1 hour to Galveston campus (rental car~20 bux fee and 20+ bux gas).

But I dunno for Tech or A&M. Anybody know the fastest way from airports or from different major Texas cities (Austin, Houston, Dallas).
 
I know that Southwest has a lot of those routes pegged. So you could probably fly from Baltimore via Southwest into Dallas or Houston and then into Lubbock, but it's probably a really expensive flight. For UTMB, I would fly into Houston, rent a car and drive to Galveston. I don't really see another option.
 
The only interesting one would be TAMU since you can fly American/Continental into CS, but since you end the day in Temple it would be easiest to fly direct AUS to BWI on Southwest. I'm too lazy to check the rates or the best way to patch it together.
 
I personally would be too lazy to do all that crap to avoid driving. So I'l fly into Austin on SW and go back the same way.
