<p>Like do they make you send in a updated transcript after you have been accepted? and if you fall out of the top 10%, can they reject you?</p>
<p>Its rare(as in I have never heard of it)... Unless you fail your classes or something of that nature, you might get your acceptance taken back, but you would have to screw up pretty royally. I have heard people dropping out of the top 10 and not getting rejected, so I think your ok.</p>
<p>oh ok...</p>
<p>this is kind of off topic but i was just thinking...</p>
<p>A person with horrible SAT scores, no EC's, no volunteer work, and ranked 49/500 can still get into UT...pathetic</p>
<p>Yes, that is pathetic. I'm not a fan of the top ten percent law. I wish UT could do a more holistic approach to admissions, but I do understand how difficult it is to process so many thousands of applications.</p>
<p>Yeah I was always wondering how UT would handle admissions if the 10% law didn't apply. Would students in Texas perform better on standardized test scores, more activities, to get in. I also wonder how the size of UT would be if the law didn't apply. Who knows?</p>
<p>The size of UT would be the same? They have the infrastructure for it, so why decrease their revenue for no reason?... They would just do what they did for the 20% or w/e that weren't admitted through the top 10% as for as admissions go.</p>
<p>actually, someone could get into UT with terrible SAT scores, no ECs and be ranked 50/500 and get accepted :-) . In my own biased opinion, I like the top 10% rule, (I am in top 10%) but i can see that some less privileged schools may supply the university with less qualified students simply b/c they are in the top 10%. On the other hand, if you are not in the top 10% or if you are out of state, that just plain out sucks. </p>
<p>And for the first question, if you do drop out of top 10% after admitted, you will still stay, unless you absolutely just quit at school and drop to 50% or something. A counselor told me so anyways.</p>
