<p>Hi. I'll be applying to UT this fall and was wondering if I would still be automatically admitted just for being in the top 10% at my school.</p>
<p>I heard they were changing the policy, but didn't know when that would be put into effect. Thanks.</p>
<p>yes it applies this year, but the new law goes into effect for the class of 2011, but even if it were to be implemented this year it shouldn’t deter you from applying to UT, because you just never know…</p>
<p>here’s a link to an article on it…</p>

<p>Ok thanks. Do you think this new rule will bring in a “smarter” population?</p>
