Close. More like:

Cal, UCLA, Mich
UNC, UVA, GTech
UF, Wisco
UGA, UIUC, Purdue

Notice all those other UC schools are absent. Just because U.S. News & Woke Reports ranks them highly now because of Pell Grant and first-gen data doesn't mean they're elite schools. Solid, yes, but not among the 10-12 best publics -- no way.[/quote]

Why did you leave UT-Austin (the school this thread is actually about) off your list? It belongs somewhere in between your 2nd and 3rd groups of schools.[/quote]

Oversight. It should be with UF and Wisco despite its impossible admissions from OOS. That is balanced by the fact that anyone from Texas can get in, even with a 900 SAT, if they finish in the top 6% of their hood/trailer park high school.[/quote]

N[b]o one who gets a 900 on the SAT is finishing in the top 6% of their high school class...no matter how hood/trailer par[/b]k.[/quote]

Of course those students exist - and they have SN issues like dyslexia, anxiety disorders, ADHD, etc. so ask for accommodations.  Many top 6% of class kids will test low. Everyone knows this - which is why the colleges were at one point trying to do away with accepting test scores across the board.  This is also why accommodations for extra time on the SAT and GRE are accepted.

If the student with a low test scores gets a "bad" result then they then they should prep and retake and if still then "bad" apply to schools which are still test-optional.  [/quote]
