[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]If he has an opportunity to attend UT (especially over High Point) then absolutely take it. If he is in any way considering High Point due to political leanings, he will have all the connections he needs (be it right or left) through UT.

I seriously don't know how this is a question. [/quote]

Full scholarship sports recruit versus going to a school 50 percent of his classmates are attending [/quote]

you obviously don't know admissions at UT.

you will be attending with the top 6% (max) of your high school.  UT fills the class with mostly top 6% from texas.  so, for my kids high school class the max number of students attending from her class would have been 240, that is if all the top 6% even want to go to UT.  news flash, they don't.[/quote]

[b]You are clueless. 40 percent who apply to UT will be admitted. That is just autoadmit.[/b] How many kids are in your child’s class if 6 percent equals = 240 ?? 6 percent of 1000 kids = 60 kids? Your math is so off. You’re saying there are 4000 kids in your child’s graduating class. What public hs has 16,000 children? [/quote]

The bolded doesn't make any sense. If they are auto-admit, then 100 get accepted.

The acceptance rate for non auto varies widely depending on major/college. The most recent overall rate is 30%. That 30% acceptance includes the non-auto plus the auto-admits, many of whom do not get their first choice majors either.

Anyway, if I were the OP I think Bowdoin would be the best choice. Kids need exposure to other places, but not places like HP. It'll be cold though.[/quote]
