I think it’s a fair reward for Texan students who do well in high school. What I don’t like, however, is how many kids from competitive high schools who are in the top 11% get CAP-ed.

Although, I have to admit I like the idea behind it. It helps create diversity and doing well on the silly SAT doesn’t make a difference. I’m not opposed to the idea behind it; I just think that kids in the top 11% shouldn’t be penalized with CAP.
