Hello,
I just saw an interesting article about the UT automatic admissions policy. It appears that the top 10% of students from each of the state's high schools are automatically guaranteed acceptance into the UT system. In recent years, this has been changed to top 7%.
In the article, the author states that some parents have gone so far as to move to lower performing school districts to help tip the scales in favor of their child:
That has led some families to game the system, by moving their kids to lower-achieving schools where they have a better chance.

This brings up a whole host of issues. Wondering what others think of this practice?
