And yes, I know that takes some work, but my son is at UT now and he worked hard enough to gain admission.
Now, how would you have reacted if your boy was rejected in favor of a minority that graduated in the top 10% of some no-name HS?.
Wouldn't like that, in fact, I wager, you would be howling. And I know UT, lectured there many times and they are mostly left-wing nutburgers in the pol-sci department. I am not impressed by UT.
