To the moderators - Can you consider pinning this thread to the top as the info it contains is valuable and is not summerized anywhere else on CC to the best of my knowledge.
Not 100 percent accurate. Schools have not only to have an OFFICIAL ranking system, but also have it officially released before a certain date. In so many words, schools that do rank but only release the ranking a few weeks before the graduation are not in the running.
So that "each" high school in Texas should be "almost all" high schools in Texas.
On the other hand, some schools that are clamoring to be considered a Tier 1 schools and are ranked next to ... Harvard by the Mother Teresa Ranking System (see http://www.washingtonmonthly.com/college_guide/rankings_2013/national_university_rank.php), could be considered as close to automatic:
Men who applied 2956
= Admitted 2945
Women who applied 3284
Admitted =3283

I think most of the Florida state universities, with the exception of UF and FSU, have an agreement with their local community colleges to auto admit students with an associate's degree.
