It might simply come down to the fact that UF and UT-Austin may end up like UVa and Berkeley in that admission isn't guaranteed to everyone from that state who applies.

The LAW in TEXAS is that they HAVE to guarantee admission to anyone in the top 10% who wants to go to UT-Austin -
SO they can't ever be like UVA or Berkeley who can choose their new students by using a combination of GPA, Rank, Standardized Test Scores, Rigor of highschool curriculum, extra-curriculars, essays, etc.
That is my point!!! That there are better ways to choose the makeup of the incoming class, and that due to the Texas legislated laws, they have no discretion in their choice - it all comes down to ONE FACTOR - class rank!!!
UHGEEDEE, yeah, it's pretty pathetic when that is even a consideration you have to make - in our case it would have been to put him in one of the other publics where the turnover rate is 100% from fall to spring because they are all chasing the "Free Rents" at the area apartment complexes, so they move from school to school!
