Great news!! In Texas, state universities must accept the top 10% of Texas public high schools up to an admissions cap of 75% (which brings it down to about Top 8% in some universities). This doesn’t leave many open seats for OOS, academic admits and all others. This doesn’t mean you will get your major of choice when you are Top 10%. Although I understand the reasoning behind this Texas law, it does mean lots of Texas students who attended very challenging high schools but just missed the top 10% are left out. This may be why TAMU first missed your DD admission since she is an OOS admission.
