I was a sponsorship chairman in Texas for a few years, and I can tell you that there were several girls from some of the "wealthy" old line suburbs who went to other schools for a year simply because they were legacies to a certain of the so called "top three" at Texas and they would not have made the cut. Because it was considered nearly mandatory for her to do what her Mama and Grandmama did, and for getting into Junior League back in such and such Cities she'd go to another school, preferably in the South and then transfer to UT.
There's even one Southern school that was favored by a certain Dallas suburb.
Of course, this was a dozen or so years ago. I don't know if it's still the case.
