Looks like I ticked off little crazy Dan! How is that land management degree working out for you these days?Quote:
To be admitted to the PACE program, a student has to have first qualified under the state's Top 10% Rule coming out of high school.

Spare me as the sips have a similar program through ACC called PACE. They co-enroll through both campuses and as long as students maintain a ....wait for it....2.0 at dildoville!! They can then have full acceptance and be on path to graduate. Using the same criteria as crazy asperger Satterfield, anyone can walk into ACC with a GED and walk out with a sip degree!!

To participate in PACE, students must be Texas residents who are eligible for automatic admission under the state's top 10 percent law but who do not qualify for automatic admission to UT Austin and who applied to UT Austin for freshman admission to the next summer or fall semester. (
Quote:
By the end of the spring semester, students must achieve a cumulative 2.0 grade-point average (GPA) in courses undertaken at UT Austin and a cumulative 3.2 GPA in courses undertaken at ACC in order to qualify for admission to approved majors in the College of Liberal Arts and the College of Education. Students must achieve a cumulative 3.0 GPA in UT Austin coursework and a 3.5 GPA in courses undertaken at ACC to be eligible for guaranteed admission to the Moody College of Communication.
Is that you Randolph?Texan1976 said:
The minimum GPA for the ACC classes is 3.25.
The PACE program also requires you to be in the top 10 percent in high school.
And it requires you to have two semesters of school. Each semester you must take 12 hours at ACC and 2 hours at Texas.
Your hours at ACC must be a minimum of a 3.25 GPA and you must pull at least a C average for the two Texas classes.
So no, you cannot just show up with a GED and pull a 2.0 at ACC and get into Texas.
This is just for those who finish between the top 7% and 10% in their high school but do not get into Texas. Each one of these students would be an auto admit at A&M, by the way.
It is nowhere in the same universe of what A&M is doing with Blinn.
You have a link to the A&M requirements?SACR said:
Actually, it is very similar to what A&M is doing with Blinn TEAM, big difference is the GPA requirement for classes at A&M is higher.
Both schools were facing the same predicament (not enough space for students who qualify for admission), and came up with a very similar solution, the only differences being A&M requires more hours at A&M and a higher GPA in those classes successfully transfer.

So do you know or not know. Your first statement should only be made if you actually know the differences.
Since you must and you say they are not in the same universe can you please inform us on Blinn TEAM entrance requirements vs PACE and acceptance requirements?
Or were you just making stuff up?
The email Mortimer quoted said you could have a 2.5 at A&M and at Blinn TEAM and transfer in. Basically, I think the 3.0 requirement in 15 hours at A&M was keeping some students from transferring in, so they decided to adjust that down. I believe the requirement to transfer into A&M from a community college has always been a 3.0, so what they're doing is making an exception for kids who are co-enrolled at A&M through this program.Irwin M.

He absolutely is making stuff up. Spent quite a bit of time examining both programs. No where does it say in PACE that you must be in top 10%, absolutely no where. Also, the GPA to get into each school is higher for A&M as far as the A&M side of things at 3.0. Not the 2.5 that Saterfield claims. It is 2.0 at tu, but 3.25 at ACC, so higher on one and lower on the other. Basically both programs are for high level students that don't quite make the cut, now to be fair A&M takes top 10% and tu top 6, but you can be outside of top 10 to be accepted at PACE.

I'm curious how Blinn and ACC compare academically. GPA requirements need perspective for a meaningful comparison.
Spend more time then. I quoted and linked the top 10 percent requirement a few posts above. What else you need?Irwin M. Fletcher said:whoop91 said:

I would love to see what that would look like.

I don't get why the ags are so upset about their school becoming a finishing school for community college students. **** was never an intellectually rigorous school for anyone except "****-caliber intellects."
As the population of Texas grows, there will naturally be a larger number of average students seeking a non-academically rigorous school to gain some basic work skills. The proposition at **** has long been one can get a vocationally oriented training there, if they are willing to forego an experience that would also develop their social skills.
UT Austin has long been the institution where a set number of students were given an opportunity to get a broad, academically demanding education. That the admission threshold was raised from the top 7% to the top 6% as the state's population grows reflects this is still the case. The higher standard keeps the enrollmentcap in place.
I personally do not mock **** because they chose an academic experience that reflects their simplified intellectual station in life. Personally, I mock them because they are $#@!ing bizarre idiots who revel in their childish freak show of a culture whose members can't understand the difference between reality and fairy tales.

Haha, those RD quotes (I assume they're from RD) are perfect examples of what I tried to describe in my earlier post, that drawing conclusions based on admissions is almost always certainly wrong.technoviking said:Quote:
