<p>Here’s something to chew on – 90% of students in any given high school are not in the top 10%. So if the bottom half of the graduating class decides not even to bother applying, that leaves only the top half. But 80% of the students in the top half are not in the top 10% of their graduating class.</p>
<p>So how come when you remove 50% of the students from the equation, and all those students are not in the top 10%, the percentage of students who are not in the top 10% only goes down by 10%?</p>
<p>If you know the answer to this, continue with your application to UT. :-)</p>
