<p>blueiguana, I am not sure if you know, but Texas does not permit universities to interpret the data at all. It requires universities to strictly obey the 10% rule and the GPA calculations of the high school. If the GPA cut off is 8% the college does not have the leeway to admit an 8.1 by making accomodations to a district or zone etc. If the cut off is 25.4 the college cannot auto admit a 25.5. It is just that simple here. Certainly once all the auto admits are in, they can review the rest according to holistic review.</p>
<p>I completely agree, there is no reason for me to take up these political questions about gpa and rank with anyone at the district. There are obviously political winds behind this mess and with what is going on with the Fisher case.</p>
