my son is a HS sophomore. Same deal, Aggie family, his number one choice, etc. I hate how the whole top 10 thing has made us raving lunatics. He's right on the edge of top 10 and we finally have come to the point where he is going to prep like crazy for the SAT, do his best, and let the chips fall where they may. In our school anyway the whole top 10 percent thing for UT and TAMU has made kids and parents into absolute crazy people. Trying to get more weighted classes, changing teachers in mid 9 weeks, etc. Was talking to my wife the other day and said, if we were a big tech or Baylor family, we wouldn't give a crap and wouldn't be so wrapped up in it. We had three really smart kids move into the district last spring and somehow go into the 3-5 spots and people about lost their minds. Guess it's the way it is now.
