This has been a long time coming. Just wanted to commemorate the occasion.
The Top 10% Law — Senate Bill 175, sponsored by Sen. Florence Shapiro and Rep. Dan Branch in the House, limited the number of top 10% Texas high school graduates automatically admitted to UT Austin. Instead of being required to admit all top 10% graduates of Texas public high schools, the new law restricts automatic admits at UT to 75% of the Texas high school students in our freshman class. The other 25% will be admitted based on all of an applicant’s qualifications, not merely class rank. The bill also limits the total out-of-state and international students to 10% of the freshman class. We currently have about 8% out-of-state and foreign students.
