University of Texas Supreme Court case

If that's the case, then getting a 3.2 at one of these schools should be a cakewalk. Then, the applicant can spend his/her remaining years at a "real" school.

I don't think most of these kids want a cakewalk. Also, not all are "dumb" schools.

However, this is how many people see the CAP Program: "Hey, guys! We're giving you the opportunity to mark time in a school you wouldn't consider otherwise! Then you can come to UT in a year and take the place of the weaker student we admitted in your place who flunked out after 15 minutes on campus!"

Here is how my 3 SEC alma maters and other large universities from neighboring states view the 10% Rule: "Way to go, Texas! Keep it up! Because we're taking in hundreds of your brightest and best who wanted a UT-type experience and it looks like after graduation, most of them aren't going back!"
