That is simply false, as much more than 10% of high school graduates in Texas are able to go to a public university in Texas.

there you go!

it's called the top 10 Law

the only way to get into a Texas State College as a freshman is to be in the top 10%

You can transfer in from a Jr. College relatively easy. but the Top 10 Law makes it next to impossible to get in as a freshman.

Thanks for the link and the lesson on reading comprehension.

You stated, “the only way to get into a Texas State College as a freshman is to be in the top 10%.”

However, your link states:

“The law requires each public college and university to admit automatically any student who has graduated in either of the two preceding academic years with a grade-point average in the top 10% of the student’s graduating class.”

Now, can you see the difference between, “the law requires each public college and university to admit automatically any student who has graduated in either of the two preceding academic years with a grade-point average in the top 10%” and “the only way to get into a Texas State College as a freshman is to be in the top 10%?”

And yes, you must have good reading comprehension to be in the top 10% of most high school graduating classes.
