Oh, the poor kids at competitive high schools just out of the top 10! How will they ever get by having to compete for admission to UT? God forbid they’d have to…gasp…go to a private school or a different public Texas school.

There’s nothing wrong with this rule. It does precisely what admissions is supposed to do: evaluate students in the context of their surroundings. Kids need to stop making excuses and whining about this.
