<p>Anybody feel those avg. could be higher if Texas didn’t have the 10% rule?</p>
<p>I think the average would be higher without the top ten percent law. 80% of last year’s class was admitted under the law. Those with automatic admission do not care as much about their scores and are not working to get the best possible result to increase their chances for admission. Of course not every single one of them is thinking UT only. There are many interested in other schools who do take it seriously. I’m just judging that from the many top tenners who I’ve met who didn’t care at all about their applications. They seem to take pride in just how little effort they put into their applications.</p>
<p>Yes, they would definitely higher if UT did not have the 10% rule.</p>
<p>i agree as well. without the top 10% rule, applicants would put in more effort and those with high SAT scores but low GPAs would apply now that they have a much better chance</p>
<p>Top 10% only guarantee admission to UT, it doesn’t guarantee entrance to the more competitive colleges. Texas liberal arts is the traditional dumping ground for top 10% with low SAT.</p>
<p>Hey, is top 10% rule applicable also to international students?</p>
<p>shivamparikh - Top 10% only applies to Texas graduates. If you’re from a different country but are still graduating in the top 10% of a Texas school - you’re just not a citizen - then you would be automatically admitted as well.</p>
<p>And kids in the top 10% (at least in my school) are trying compete not only for their major at UT, but a spot in Honors. Also kids in top 10% are also the ones who will apply to Ivy League schools - so they won’t all be slacking on their SATs. But I’m sure the law does give a lot of top 10%ers an “OK” to slack.</p>
<p>Oh, cause i am ranked 2 unofficially, it is not written on my transcipt … crap … i wish i had asked them to write it …</p>
