Aztec,

It is totally ethical to switch schools. For a couple of reasons. First off… that is the process that the Texas state government created when they enacted the 10% rule. Second of all it is not prohibited by the University of Texas or Texas Board of Education. Third if the school is the closest to your house you would generally have been zoned to attend there anyway. Don’t forget the goal of the University of Texas is to get the best students available despite the restrictions the Texas Legislature imposes on them (10% rule). Your goal is to attend the best school available to you. So if you need to switch schools to be an auto admit go for it and don’t look back.

Oh and it not that sneaky, kids all over the state do it, it is a well know practice and not deterred. Generally the gaining schools benefit from higher quality students which tend to help bring up the overall grades of the school.

Good Luck
