<p>a) when someone applies from a cc or from a different college, they are applying as college students with college gpa’s obtained in college level courses, not highschool students with ranks. They are in a completely different application pool and are not bound by the 10% law. </p>
<p>b) The don’t necessarily transfer into less demanding majors. Some, with extremely good grades get into McCombs, Cockrell, or any of the other competitive majors. There are examples of this on CC.</p>
<p>c) they don’t just “take up seats”, they are paying students just like those who were accepted as freshmen.</p>
<p>d) who’s to say if those kids who transferred from ACC or HCC don’t deserve to be at UT. Certainly not I, and certainly not you. Perhaps these kids are the same exact kind as those you deem worthy of the summer program. They just decided CAP wasn’t for them…</p>
<p>Oh, and btw - there is no more summer program anymore. It was discontinued this past year.</p>
