The state of Texas should continue the use of the top 10% college admission Bill 588 because it would help a lot of students to enter to a university automatically. For the top 10% students they need to have that really good GPA, have a direct pass to the university, and have the poor a better chance to attend a college. This would help a lot of students and encourage them to put a lot of effort on them so they can reach that top 10% so they can have a better chance to choose what university they would love to go to.
To be in the top 10% of your class you need to have that good grade point average and good attendance. All the students in High School challenge themselves to be in the top 10% so they can enter to a university automatically. This would help the student to open there mind and to see who can do netter than the other person. It wont worry any top 10% student to enter a university. They would have to be proud pf themselves by entering a university and that hard work that they put in was worth it. They would just have to worry about to fill in the application and send it to the university. Being in the top 10% would help a lot of students to survive and not concerning g them about what percentage they need to get in the Sat scores they would have that acceptance in the university automatically. Its a lot of work to be in your top 10% in your class but if you put that effort and study for your tests, turn in work on time and get good grades you would be satisfy with yourself and being in your top 10% of your class.
The other thing is that the bill gives the poor and racial minorities a better chance to attend a college. The students would now go to a university or college with different racial ethnicities. The Texas bill should continue using the top 10% college admission so al the smart students enter a college automatically. It would matter that a good smart student to obtain a good future in a university and reach that goal to be someone in life in the future. This top 10% program would provide grants and scholarships to students that are in the top 10%. It won’t matter what kind of race ethnicity your in it only matters that you would enter any university that you want to go in Texas. It would help a lot of students to decide what college they want to go to.
However, the opponents say that the law should be taken off the Texas Constitution. The law has been blamed for keeping students not in the top ten percent but with other credentials, such as high SAT scores or leadership and extracurricular experience, out of the large state universities. The Texas Constitution should give credit for those students that are in the top twenty percent of their class as well. For example, their hard work, high SAT scores, high grades, leadership, etc. Therefore, any student that graduated from high school should go to a university and be accepted.
The State of Texas should continue to use the top 10% college admission policy of vill 388 because it would help a lot of students in the future to enter to any college they want in Texas. As a student you just need to have those really good grades and compete with your friends to stay in that top10% and to enter any college in the future. It would help a lot of parents that they see their child in a college and be so proud of them that they did a really good thing of raising a good child to go to school. It would encourage all students to be in the top 10% so they wont be doing that extra work to enter to a university or college.

I disagree with Eduardo about the top 10% of highschool students getting automatically accepted to college. The main argument is not every highschool is equal. Some highschools are more challenging than others due to their economics and size. If you go to a poorer school, you generally need a lower GPA to be in the 10%. Whereas at a richer school, that is more competitive, you need a very high GPA to make the top 10%. Also, the size of school can be an issue. A small school with a graduating class of 100 only gets 10 kids automatically accepted to college. A larger graduating class of 300 gets 30 kids automatically accepted. Now who is to say which kids truly deserve to get automatically accepted, because the math does not take in account of the difficulty of the school?
Sometimes kids are not ready for college right away. Again if you didn’t go to a competitive highschool and got to be in the top 10% because you had a large graduating class, doesn’t mean you are ready for college. In highschool you don’t learn time management. I propose using just your GPA, SAT scores, and an essay exampling why you should be automatically accepted to college would better judge to person to see if they are ready for college.
