<p>The top 10% report #8 is available on the UT website at:
<a href="http://www.utexas.edu/student/admissions/research/index.html%5B/url%5D">http://www.utexas.edu/student/admissions/research/index.html</a></p>
<p>(that is admissions/research in the elipse above)</p>
<p>It is very interesting. Just some quick facts gleaned from the report:
*Non-top 10% admits have had higher average SAT scores than the Top 10% admits for the past 3 years.
*Over 40% of Top 10% admits had combined SAT scores less than 1200.
*3% of those had combined SAT scores under 900!</p>
<p>Obviously, there is a contingent of academically weak students among the Top 10% admits. The report slices and dices by SAT range, race, Freshman GPAs, by Top 10 and non-Top 10, etc. </p>
<p>Of course, there are 2 kinds of lies: damned lies and statistics. I thought it was interesting that, in part 2 of the report on Continuing and Graduation Rates, we stop seeing the stats segregated by SAT score, and all the Top 10% admits are lumped into one number. I suspect that the academically weak contingent within the Top 10% admits don't stick around UT too long.</p>
