Top 10 percent rule is unfair

I changed my mind and now think the top 10 percent rule is a good idea.

(Many) Well-off people like me have everything in our favor. Being financially well-off gives you so many more opportunities than if you are poor.

It’s about time something went in favor of the less well-off people. Everything else is stacked against them, and they’ve had to live hard lives, so I think they should get a little lee-way.

Besides, UT is not Harvard, if you work hard, you WILL get in. All you need is to be in the top 50 percent of your class and have like a 1420 sat, and you’ll probably make it.

And even if you don’t, if you truly are qualified, you’ll easily be transferred to ut after a year in ut san antonio.

Besides, learning to deal with disappointment is one of the important lessons in life. Have everything handed to you, and when you finally fail at something, you’ll fall apart.

Just my 2 cents.
