Unit 3: Topic

Topic: The topic I'm interested in is the new change to Texas' top 10 percent college admission rule. The top 10 percent college admission rule said that any student in Texas that graduates in the top 10 percent of their high school class is automatically granted admissions to state's colleges and universities. The Texas senate recently voted to change this rule.
How it impacts community: This is important to students in Texas because there are a lot of students that rely on their class rank to get them into a certain school. The top 10 percent rule has also been around for awhile, so for the students that worked to achieve this ranking are expecting the rule to still apply for them.
How it affects you personally: Since I am already in college this doesn't really affect me personally other than the impact it might have on people I know who are trying to get into college.
