It's surprising because it's one of the top schools in the country, well known and world renowned.
That still doesn't mean everyone has heard of it. I mean how many people on here know much about Dartmouth? Probably not many.

I live in Texas and have a degree from University of Florida. UF doesn't have as much of a world reputation as UT-Austin does, but I haven't come across Texans who have never heard of UF, even among those who don't watch college sports.
Regardless, top employers and recruiters definitely know about UT-Austin, which is what ultimately matters. They are in the top 5 among feeder schools at three of the Big 4 accounting firms.
It's not strange at all. Not every circle discusses this school. No one talks about Florida here either. Again thousands of miles away.
The Big 4 accounting firms aren't located in many areas of the country. Most of us aren't working or desire to work in accounting either. Earlier you were talking about them being an engineering school and now they're an accounting school. We get it. You love the school. Accept that there are people who have never heard of it and there are people out there who don't think it's the greatest thing since sliced bread. There's no perfect school out there. They all have issues.
