This is overly simplistic. The new quota mostly worked for transfer students only, not re-rushers or first time rushing non-freshmen. The "top" houses did not use the quota in the same enthusiastic way the others did. Non-freshmen should not go into Texas recruitment believing that the new quota will greatly improve their chances, particularly at the "top" and "middle" tier houses. The truth is there many more who didn't receive bids or who dropped out than those who did receive bids.
