when does non-top10% decision come out?

I’m top 10%, but I don’t like the top 10% rule. I know too many people who are not in the top 10%, yet I’m sure they deserve the spot more than those who hold it. Many top 10% cheat.

I don’t think you should find the easiest teachers because that takes away from your education. You may end up not taking an ap class because of a hard teacher and it just may be that the course missed out on could have been your niche or could have saved you some time in college.

For me, the top 10% rocks, but it takes away from UT’s prestige. Many top schools are top because the kids are well in school and can think critically. Just being in the top 10% does not make the student able to solve problems, for some it just makes them able to cheat. Like zanna said, many people who have actually worked hard at school and made the best of their oppurtunities look at UT as their back-up school.
