<p>the top 10% law looks good on paper....but i guess it takes being affected by it, to really understand why its a bad idea....i think there are many people like myself that would probably be accepted without the summer school or CAP if it wasnt for this law....but its really hard to take in that they probalby didnt even look at my ECs or essays all that much</p>
<p>also..."over 40% of top 10% admits had combined SAT scores less than 1200"....that is probably true, but think about all of the ppl that knew they would be accepted even if they made a 0 on the SATs....if the test really doesnt matter, you wont try as hard as someone who needs a high SAT score just to have a fighting chance</p>
