<p>What all that stuff is true...</p>
<p>AND EXCUSE ME for trying to make myself feel better about being rejected to a school my brother got into... sheesh youre mean</p>
<p>You started a thread on the notion that you've already gotten rejected, even though you haven't even received a decision yet and your top 13% with a 2070. So yes I will make fun of you.</p>

I never thought I would have trouble getting in and didn't ever think I would go but now I really want to and DO NOT want to go to A&M

^ This is the complete opposite of what you said in the other quote</p>
<p>foxshox, please forgive educatemeplease. we should understand that he must have been in a tough situation because of all the stresses during this waiting period.</p>
<p>educatemeplease was just being trying to sort it all out. It is not a bad idea to look at the positives of another school while at the same time NOT wanting to go there. Wait until all the cards are on the table before you make decisions. Two of my children changed their minds on May1st and both are very happy. (Good way to drive your parents crazy by the way!) One went to a school he had never considered until very late in the process.</p>
<p>educatemeplease has visited the A&M campus and seen the light ;)</p>
<p>honestly - I'm an Aggie, I have been following the top 10% string from this discussion group because I do feel something needs to be changed. It happened at UT and it is happening at A&M, and A&M will be experiencing this in the very near future. Until all high schools weight their advanced courses exactly the same, this top 10% law is flawed. The law discourages students from taking advanced courses which will make them more successful in college. The top 10% of a high school class is not the only indicator of a students potential to be successful in college. It is very sad that very deserving students are not going to the school they want. With the 2008 freshman class size at UT being around 6800 and A&M's 2008 being around 20% higher at 8100, it make sense that UT would reach this point before A&M.<br>
I am hoping this problem can be addressed soon and fixed for all the future Aggies & Longhorns -</p>
<p>All Texas high schools will be required to weight advanced courses according to the new ruling for next year's freshmen (class of 2013). IIRC, advanced courses will be given a half a point.</p>
<p>What is IIRC?</p>
<p>well that makes sence.... People have been upset with our High School for years over the weighing classes issue. They did nothing about it for years causing one of my nieces not to be #1 in her class.<br>
It makes sence that our High School wouldn't have done it on its own...</p>
<p>IIRC = If I Recall Correctly. (Google is really helpful!)</p>
