Maybe I am missing something here. Just because a girl is not accepted to UT because of the Top 10% rule and is accepted to Blinn doesn't mean she will be a grade risk. Having been a teacher for almost 20 years, I have seen many quality students not be in the Top 10% but still be highly academic. There are many reasons a student might not be able to take AP or weighted classes that they would need to be in that elite category. For example, she might be artistic or musical and have all As but but many AP courses, so she would have a 4.0 but not a 5.0 or 6.0.
I think this Blinn designation might be being blown up more than it should be. These girls will still have good GPAs and might have more leadership or community service opportunities than the UT admits.
