Do any other states have policies similar to the Texas public university system?
Here, if you are in the top 15% of your graduating class, you are automatically admitted to any public university in the state... no matter what your test scores were, if your high school was "elite" or not....(although you still have to actually "apply" to the schools)
I'm actually not sure if it's the top 15% or the top 10%? Maybe someone from Texas can clear that up for me.
It's nice that something like that is in place because then no one gets upset about the whole AA thing & gives everyone a chance at a great education.
I realize not everyone wants to go to school in Texas, and maybe not all want to go to public universities in Texas, but it is nice that the students get some kind of reward for making good grades in high school.
