It isn't all about test scores and grades at selective schools. If it was, they'd have to admit more students than they can service.

I wasn't trying to make an argument for why she didn't get. I was merely trying to dispel the mediocre statement. The whole bases of her case is UT is choosing students based race/ethnicity that fall outside the top 10% rule, which she doesn't believe should be the universities right. She believes the 10% rule provides enough diversity in and unto itself that race/ethnicity should be stricken when considering the balance of the freshman class.
