<p>A&M appears to have resolved that by taking students with top test scores and are assigned the top 25% by TAMU. That helps the kids at these rigorous and brutal high schools get accepted.</p>

So even kids that are outside the top 8% and still within the top 10-25% from these brutal high schools are left in limbo while the holistic review process moves along. And as we all know, many of these kids have better overall stats than many who get admitted from less competitive schools. And that leads to another lengthy and hotly debated issue for a different thread.</p>
