<p>Senior0991: actually, it’s a little bit different than that. the rule is that all students in the stat of texas that are in the top 10% are automatically admitted to any college of their choice. and yeah. it DOES make it harder for those that aren’t in “the elite 10%”. i should know; i live in texas, and i have it paraded around me everyday.</p>
<p>and ecs only make a difference if you want to get into a harder school. colleges that “weed out” freshmen aren’t going to be too interested in ecs, though they may make somewhat of a difference if applying later.</p>
