What undergrad law program at UT?

UTMother is right, they may want you to be there for a certain amount of time before granting you a rank. So look into it. There is nothing unethical about integration. My son had the choice of four schools. One in which he would be in the top 1% (recommended by the district). Two in which he would be in the top 8%. One in which he would not make the top 25%. He took the last one, where he thought the students were strongest and would push him to do his best. He is not in the top 25%. However, he did take 5 AP courses in junior year (4,5,5,5,5). He is a National Merit Semifinalist and scored in the 700s in all his SAT and SAT Subject Tests. He will graduate with 10+ AP courses and 10+ Honors courses. If UT sees value in what he did, they can accept him thru the review process. If not, then so what? It is not like anyone can take his PSAT, SAT, SAT Subj Test and AP Test scores away.

Do I think it would have been better to not take honors and AP courses, earn a high rank with a 1500 on the SAT to get into UT, absolutely not.
