Mission of the Coordinating Board
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board’s mission is to work with the Legislature, Governor,
governing boards, higher education institutions and other entities to help Texas meet the goals of the
state’s higher education plan, Closing the Gaps by 2015, and thereby provide the people of Texas the
widest access to higher education of the highest quality in the most efficient manner.
Philosophy of the Coordinating Board
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board will promote access to quality higher education across the
state with the conviction that access without quality is mediocrity and that quality without access is
unacceptable. The Board will be open, ethical, responsive, and committed to public service. The Board will
approach its work with a sense of purpose and responsibility to the people of Texas and is committed to
the best use of public monies. The Coordinating Board will engage in actions that add value to Texas and
to higher education. The agency will avoid efforts that do not add value or that are duplicated by other
entities.
The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board does not discriminate on the basis of race, color, national origin, gender, religion, age or disability
in employment or the provision of services.

Definitions:
Applications: Counts of statewide applications are duplicated in this report (unless otherwise
noted). Students often apply to more than one institution and references to counts of
applications statewide or to “institutions other than The University of Texas at Austin and Texas
A&M” include these duplications. Sums of the number of applications to The University of Texas
at Austin (UT-Austin)and Texas A&M (TAMU) include applicants who apply to both.
Ethnicity: Students are classified as White, African American, Hispanic, or Other based on the
racial/ethnic category reported to the Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board (THECB) on
the Coordinating Board Admission Report. Federal requirements for reporting race/ethnicity
changed beginning with fall 2010. Students who reported being multi-racial are included in the
Other category, except those who reported one of their races as African American. These
students are classified as African American.
Low 20% to Universities: Texas Education Code (TEC), Section 51.803 (l) defines this
measure as the lowest 20 percent of public high schools based on the percentage of their
graduates who attend four-year institutions, including general academic teaching institutions, in
one of the two academic years following the year of a student's high school graduation.
Regions: The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board disaggregates the state into 10
regions. A map showing the regions is in Appendix E.
Small school: For this report, small schools are defined as high schools with fewer than 50
graduates.
Socioeconomic status (SES): Students who were reported to the Texas Education Agency
(TEA) as receiving free or reduced price lunches under the National School Lunch Program and
Child Nutrition Program or other public assistance are defined as low SES.
Texas first time in college (FTIC) or first time undergraduate (FTUG) enrollees: The
Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board does not have access to private high school or
Department of Defense graduation records. An estimate of Texas first time undergraduate
enrollees from Texas high schools (Texas FTIC) is obtained from the Coordinating Board
Enrollment Report. For the purpose of this report, students are considered Texas FTIC if they
are reported as first time in college with a permanent residence in Texas.
Texas Top 10% enrollees: Students are considered as Top 10% enrollees if their
application on university files records them as accepted, and ranked in the Top 10% of their
high school graduation class. If they are not listed as Top 10% at the university at which they
enrolled, even if they are listed as Top 10% on another university where they did not enroll,
they are not included in the Top 10% data. For the purpose of this report, only the results of
enrollees from Texas are discussed.

Executive Summary
Background
The automatic admission statute (the Top 10% law) requires that public universities in Texas
give automatic admission to high school students in one of the first two years after their high
school graduation if they are in the top 10 percent of their graduating class. This statute has
had the greatest impact on the most selective state institutions.
Senate Bill 175, passed in the 81st Texas Legislative session, now permits The University of
Texas at Austin (UT-Austin) to admit its estimate of the number of Top 10% students who will
comprise 75 percent of its resident entering class. These students are to be admitted in order
by rank, starting with the highest. Any remaining Top 10% applicants not admitted in the initial
75 percent become part of the general admission pool. For fall 2012, UT-Austin estimated that
the top 9 percent would be eligible for automatic admission. As a result of HB 1843, 83rd Texas
Legislative session, The University of Texas at Austin may use this provision through FY 2018.
To determine the impact of this authorization on the state higher education plan, “Closing the
Gaps by 2015”, the legislature requires that THECB prepare an annual report that focuses on
Top 10% applicants and enrollees based on ethnicity, region, socio-economic status (SES),
graduates from small high schools, and graduates from high schools in the bottom 20 percent
of institutions sending their graduates to four-year institutions.
Applications
In fall 2012, UT-Austin offered automatic admission to students in the top 9 percent of their
graduating class. The university received over 1,600 more applications than in 2011 and almost
1,000 more Top 10% applications. In contrast, in fall 2011, the first year SB 175 took effect, UTAustin offered automatic admission to the top 8 percent of students. That year, 21,860
applications were received, an increase of just 400 applications more than in 2010, and 9,558 top
10% students applied, 230 fewer than the prior year.
Texas A&M University (TAMU) saw a very large increase in applicants in fall 2011, receiving more
overall applications than UT Austin and 2,500 more applications than in 2010. In 2012, TAMU still
had more top 10% applications than UT Austin, but increased just 1,100 applicants overall and
500 for students in the top 10 percent. These variations suggest that some students may change
their decisions about applying based on changes in the percent of students who are guaranteed
admission.
Another change observed in the data is a steady increase in the overall number of applications
students are submitting. Statewide, there has been an increase of over 52,000 applications from
fall 2009 to fall 2012, or more than 28 percent. The largest increases were observed from fall
2011 to fall 2012 when, statewide, total applications increased by 21,897 and Top 10%
applications increased 3,544. From 2009 to 2012 the number of Texas public high school
graduates increased 11 percent, with a modest (less than 1%) increase from 2011 to 2012.
Data comparisons from 2000 to 2012 show a similar pattern, and highlight the growth in student
v
applications and an increase in the number of institutions students apply to on the average. In
fall 2000 there were 112,792 applications statewide compared to 234,443 in fall 2012. In fall
2000 the average applicant applied to 1.4 institutions compared to 1.7 applications per applicant
in fall 2012. These figures for Top 10% students were 1.3 and 1.6 respectively.
In fall 2000, 19% of statewide Top 10% applications or 3,454 Top 10% applications went to UTAustin; this figure was 23 percent (10,496 applications) in fall 2012. TAMU received 29 percent
of Top 10% applications in fall 2000 (5,235 applications) compared with 21 percent (9,515
applications) in fall 2012. Applications to Emerging Research institutions (i.e. Texas Tech
University, University of Texas at Arlington, University of Texas at Dallas, University of Texas at
El Paso, University of Texas at San Antonio, University of Houston, and University of North
Texas) showed less variability, with those institutions receiving, combined, 19 percent of Top
10% applications in both of these years.
Hispanic students accounted for the majority of the increase in both total applications and Top
10% applications from 2009 to 2012. Concurrently, there were over 30,000 more Hispanic
applications, including over 6,000 more Hispanic Top 10% applications during this three year
period.
Enrollment of First-Time-in-College (FTIC) Students
All Enrollees. When compared to all other public universities in Texas combined, all of the
statewide FTIC undergraduate enrollee growth from fall 2011 to fall 2012 was at UT-Austin,
which enrolled 7,204 FTIC students in fall 2012. TAMU enrolled 7,812 first-time students, a slight
drop from the prior year. Overall, examining them as a group, FTIC enrollment decreased
somewhat at other Texas public universities over the same period.
The number of public Texas high school graduates increased less than 1 percent from 2011 to
2012 or by 2,068 students. This is the lowest rate of growth since 2005. Enrollment of public
high school graduates who go directly to a Texas institution dropped from 50.8 percent in fall
2011 to 49.8 percent in fall 2012. The majority of FTIC students at Texas public universities are
recent public Texas high school graduates.
From fall 2011 to fall 2012, the percentage of FTIC enrollees of all ethnicities increased at UTAustin. White enrollees increased over 10 percent, African American enrollment increased almost
15 percent and Hispanic student increased over 27 percent. At TAMU during this period White
FTIC enrollment decreased almost 6 percent, African American enrollment increased almost 10
percent, and the Hispanic enrollment increase was nearly 14 percent. Statewide, the percentage
of White enrollees decreased 1.4 percent, the percentage African American enrollees increased 1
percent and Hispanic first-time enrollees increased 4 percent.
Top 10% Enrollees. All of the statewide Top 10% enrollee growth from fall 2011 to fall 2012
when compared to all other universities combined was at UT-Austin and Texas A&M University.
UT-Austin enrolled 5,317 Top 10% students. TAMU enrolled 4,821 Top 10% students. Top 10%
enrollment decreased somewhat at other Texas public universities combined over the same
period.
At UT-Austin, almost three out of four resident enrollees were in the Top 10%, with 82.9 percent
of the Hispanics enrolled coming from the Top 10% (the highest percentage) and 66.7 percent of
the Whites enrolled (the lowest percentage). At TAMU, 61.7 percent of entering students from
vi
Texas were in the Top 10%, with Hispanic students having the highest rate (74.4 percent in
2012) followed closely by African American students (73.9 percent).
Statewide, the number of Top 10% FTIC students enrolled from small high schools decreased
from 727 in fall 2011 to 599 enrollees in fall 2012. At UT-Austin, the enrollees from these schools
went from 93 to 66 students over this same period. The enrollment of students in this category
at TAMU decreased from 166 in fall 2011 to 145 in fall 2012. There were 15,750 graduates of
small high schools in 2012.
UT-Austin enrolled 1,198 Low SES Top 10% enrollees in fall 2012, 243 more than the 955
students in this category they enrolled in fall 2011. TAMU increased the number of low SES
Top 10% enrollees from 808 to 1,080 during this time. Statewide this increase of low SES
Top 10% enrollees was 580 students. Between fall 2009 and fall 2012, the number of low
SES Top 10% enrollees in the state increased from 3,926 to 5,594.
Top 10% percent enrollees from high schools in the bottom 20 percent in sending graduates
to 4-year institutions 917 students in fall 2011 to 918 students in fall 2012. During this time,
TAMU decreased enrollment of students in this category from 181 to 221. Concurrently, UTAustin increased Top 10% enrollment in this category from 145 to 176 students.

Texas High School Graduates in the Top 10% of Their Classes
Found in Texas Public Higher Education, Fall 2009-Fall 2012 Cohorts
Background
The automatic admission statute, codified as TEC, Section 51.802 et seq., and referred to as
the Top 10% law, was enacted in 1997. It requires that high school students in the Top 10%
of their graduating classes be given automatic admission to Texas public general academic
teaching institutions (universities) in one of the first two years after their graduation.
This statute has the greatest impact on the most selective state institutions. In fall 2009 and
fall 2010, about 80 percent of the first-time-in-college (FTIC) Texas resident students at UTAustin were admitted under the Top 10% requirements. At the other extreme, six (2009) or
seven (2010) public universities admitted fewer than nine percent of their first-time resident
students based on this legislation. In fall 2009, fall 2010, and fall 2011 statewide, 26 percent of
all FTIC enrollments were Top 10% students. For fall 2012, the statewide percent of FTIC
enrollments in the Top 10% of their graduating class was 27 percent.
In 2009, the 81st Texas Legislative Session amended the Top 10% law to permit UT-Austin
to adjust its Top 10% admissions policy.
“Beginning with admissions for the 2011-2012 academic year, The University of Texas at
Austin is not required to offer admission to applicants who qualify for automatic
admission under Subsection (a) in excess of the number required to fill 75 percent of the
university's enrollment capacity designated for first-time resident undergraduate
students in an academic year…” Sec.51.803(l) TEC.
The University of Texas at Austin must admit “in good faith” its estimate of the number of Top
10% students who will comprise 75 percent of its resident entering class. These students are to
be admitted in order by rank, starting with the highest, until the school has admitted its
estimate of 75 percent of its entering class. Top 10% students who were not admitted as part
of the initial selection become part of the general admission pool with all other applicants. In
HB 1843, 83rd Texas Legislature, this approach was extended through FY 2018.
To track how this admission change for UT-Austin affects the state’s progress towards Closing
the Gaps (CTG), the state higher education plan, the THECB is required to prepare an annual
report. The report must cover admissions by:
Ethnicity
Socio-economic status (SES)
Region
Small high schools, and
High schools in the bottom 20 percent in sending graduates to 4-year institutions in
one of the first two years after graduation.
This annual report uses fall 2009 to fall 2012 data. It presents Top 10% data for UT-Austin,
TAMU, other universities collectively, and the state. As UT-Austin utilizes its ability to limit Top
10% admissions, this data helps to show what effect the UT-Austin exclusion has on the
characteristics of Top 10% students it enrolls.
1
Applications
Total Applications. UT-Austin received approximately 23,500 applications for first-time-in
college (FTIC) admission for fall 2012. Although this was 1,600 or 7.4 percent more applications
that the university received for fall 2011, it was about 1,100 fewer than the approximately
24,600 applications received by Texas A&M University (TAMU) for 2012 (see Table 1 on page 7
and Appendix A). Other Texas public universities, grouped for the purpose of this report,
received 186,400 applications for fall 2012 first time students – an increase of more than 11
percent from the prior year.
The steady increase in the overall number of applications students are submitting is notable.
Statewide, there has been an increase of over 52,000 applications from fall 2009 to fall 2012, or
more than 28 percent; this number includes an increase in more than 10,500 applications
submitted by Top 10% students, a 30 percent increase since 2009. The largest increases were
observed from fall 2011 to fall 2012 when, statewide, total applications and Top 10%
applications increased by 21,897 and 3,544 respectively. These increases represent both a
larger number of applicants and the average applicant applying to more institutions. In fall 2000
there were 112,792 applications statewide compared to 234,443 in fall 2012. The average
applicant applied to 1.4 institutions in fall 2000 compared to 1.7 applications per applicant in fall
2012. These figures for Top 10% students were 1.3 and 1.6 respectively.
Top 10% Applications. UT-Austin received 9,558 Texas Top 10% applications in 2011 and
10,496 in 2012. TAMU had 8,955 and 9,515 Top 10% applications for the same periods; all
other universities combined had 23,584 Top 10% applications for fall 2011 and 25,630 for fall
2012. Chart 1 highlights changes in the percent of top 10% applications since fall 2009. While
Top 10% applications at TAMU as a percent of all Top 10% applications have remained
relatively steady, increases at other Texas publics and decreases at UT Austin are notable and
may be related to the Top 10% policy changes first implemented in 2011.

Other TX Public
Universities (Grouped)
First-time Undergraduate Enrollment
Total FTIC Enrollment. The combined first-time undergraduate enrollment at all universities
except UT-Austin and TAMU decreased slightly from 2011 to fall 2012, as did first-time
enrollment at TAMU. In contrast, from fall 2011 to fall 2012 UT Austin added nearly 1,000 firsttime enrollees. Statewide, White first-time undergraduate enrollment decreased 1 percentage
point and Hispanic enrollment increased 1 percentage point while percentages of African
American and Other ethnicities remained the same for both years (Table 4).
Total Top 10% Enrollment. As shown in Chart 2, the percent of students in the Top 10%
who enroll at UT-Austin, calculated as a percentage of all Top 10% enrollees, has increased
since 2011, after decreasing each year since 2009. The percentage enrolling at TAMU has
increased since 2010. After increasing 5 percentage points from 2009 to 2011, the percentage
enrolling at Other Texas public institutions dropped from 49% to 46% in 2012. This drop may
be attributable to the increase in the automatic admission percentage at UT Austin from 8
percent to 9 percent and to increased enrollments observed at TAMU.

Differences and Trends
This section provides analysis of some additional changes over time observed in the top 10%
data to provide a fuller understanding of changing application and enrollment patterns. It
includes differences observed at the one (2011-2012), two (2010 to 2012), and three-year
(2009-2012) period.
Notably, 2011 and 2012 were the first years that UT-Austin did not receive the most
applications of any Texas public university since 2001. These were also the first years that UT
Austin limited automatic admissions under §51.803(l) of the Texas Education Code to students
in the top 8% (2011) and 9% (2012) of their high school class.
It cannot be known to what degree the differences and trends shown in charts 1, 2, and 3
above and the differences and trends highlighted in this section are the result of changes in Top
10% policies at UT Austin due to SB 175. The patterns of application and enrollment for top
10% students do suggest that the legislation had an impact on student application and
enrollment behaviors; some, no doubt the result of reduced automatic admission thresholds, but
some that may be the result of changes in students’ perceptions about institutions or their own
viability as candidates. Examining patterns of application submittal and FTIC enrollment from
2009 to 2012 provides insight into the impact of policy changes. Population growth, patterns of
high school to college enrollment, and shifts in the racial and ethnic composition of Texas’
recent high school graduates also impact these statistics.

Fall 2011 and Fall 2012 Differences
The following observations highlight some of the most notable differences between the fall
2011 and fall 2012 data:
Statewide resident FTIC applications increased over 10 percent to 234,443
applications. This increase included more than 3,500 additional Top 10%
applications. Unduplicated, this represents a 6.6 percent increase in individual
applicants and a 5.4 percent increase in Top 10% applicants.
. In reference to all other public universities combined, all the statewide Texas
resident FTIC growth between fall 2011 and fall 2012 was at UT- Austin; resident
public undergraduate enrollment decreased slightly at TAMU. Statewide FTIC
enrollees increased 799 students from 68,576 in fall 2011 to 69,375 in fall 2012.
Texas public high school graduation rates increased less than a percentage point
between 2011 and 2012. This is the smallest rate of graduate growth since 2007.
UT-Austin enrolled 956 more first time undergraduate students in fall 2012 than in
fall 2011. This figure includes almost 400 more Hispanic students.
. Statewide growth of FTIC enrollees consisted of nearly 1,000 more Hispanic students.
There were 382 fewer White students, 97 more African American, and 130 more
students of other ethnicities.
All the statewide Texas resident Top 10% first time undergraduate enrollment growth
between fall 2011 and fall 2012 (compared to other universities combined) was at UT
Austin and TAMU. Top 10% enrollment decreased 122 students at other universities
over the same period.
The number of Top 10% enrollees from small high schools decreased 17.8 percent
statewide from fall 2011 to fall 2012 to about 600 students. At UT-Austin the
number of students from these schools went from 93 to 66 over the same period. It
would appear UT-Austin needs to improve their recruiting efforts for these Top 10%
students given the large decrease in the enrollment of these students contrasted
with the large increase in FTUG enrollment. There were 15,750 graduates from
small high schools in 2012.
UT-Austin increased the number of low SES Top 10% enrollees 25.4 percent.
Statewide this figure was 11.6 percent and TAMU increased this count by 33.7
percent. The number of low SES high school graduates increased by about 4
percent over this period.
UT-Austin enrolled 21.4 percent more Top 10% students from high schools that send
few students to higher education. This increase represents 31 students. Statewide this
number increased by one student to 918 students.
5
Three-Year Trends
An analysis of the three-year trend between fall 2010 and fall 2012 may show differences in
patterns resulting from the UT-Austin exclusion to the Top 10% statute.
UT-Austin had about 2,000 more applications in fall 2012 than in fall 2010. Hispanics
accounted for 1,177 of this increase. Statewide there were 36,812 more applications
over this same period.
Top 10% applications increased 7.2 percent at UT-Austin since fall 2010, with
Hispanic Top 10% applications increasing by 582. Over this same period,
applications from White Top 10% students decreased by almost 200 students.
Statewide, FTUG enrollment increased 3,295 students in fall 2012 compared to fall
2010. Hispanic student enrollment increased over 3,000, while White enrollment
decreased by over 1,000 students over the same period.
UT-Austin enrolled 216 more Top 10% students in fall 2012. This change consisted
of 166 more Hispanic students, 109 more students of Other ethnicity, 21 more
African-American students, and 80 less White students.
Four -Year Trends
Texas public universities received over 52,000 more applications in fall 2012 than in fall 2009, a
28.6 percent increase. Top 10% students represent 10,538 of this increase in applications.
Hispanics made up the largest percentage of this statewide increase in FTUG
applications, submitting more than 30,000 more applications in fall 2012 than in fall
2009. Hispanic applications from the Top 10% increased over 50 percent over the
same period.
Hispanic students made up the largest percentage of the statewide FTIC enrollment
increase, increasing 5,817 over the four year period. White student enrollment
decreased by 5.8 percent, and African American enrollment increased by over 9
percent.
Statewide Top 10% enrollments increased 2,613 (16.1 percent) to about 18,800
students. Hispanic enrollees made up the largest percentage of this increase with
1,827 new Top 10% enrollees from fall 2009 to fall 2012. The total FTUG Hispanic
enrollment totaled 56.557 in fall 2012.
Low SES Top 10% enrollment increased 42.5 percent statewide. Hispanics made up
the largest number of this increase with a 1,126 enrollee increase in Top 10% low
SES students from fall 2009 to fall 2012.

Application and Enrollment Detail
First-Time and Texas Top 10% Applications
As shown in Table 1, UT Austin and TAMU combined accounted for over one fifth of all
university applications. Each of the two institutions received over a fifth of the Top 10%
applications. The number of individual applicants is smaller than the number of applications
because individuals are counted multiple times based on the number of institutions to which
they apply.

Applications and Top 10% applications by race ethnicity are also highlighted in Table 1. African
American and Hispanic students submitted a smaller percentage of applications to UT-Austin
and TAMU than White students did. For example, in fall 2012, 13.4 percent of White students’
applications were submitted to UT-Austin, compared with 4.1 percent of African American
students and 7.7 percent of Hispanic students.

Table 2 illustrates the change in the total number of Top 10% applications over the last four
years. Statewide, there has been a 30 percent increase over this period.

Table 3 shows the change in individual and Top 10% applicants statewide and the percentage
growth per year. The number of Top 10% students applying has increased 17.5 percent during
this time which, given the larger 30 percent increase in applications, indicates that the average
Top 10% student is applying to more universities.

Entering Undergraduates in the Top 10%
In 2012, the same percentage of Top 10% students enrolled at UT-Austin (50.7 percent)
and at TAMU (50.7 percent); at all other universities as a group, the admission-to-enrollment
rate was 33.8 percent. The statewide rate for all universities was 41.2 percent in 2012 and
42.6 percent in 2011 (Appendix A).
Viewed by the ethnicity of Top 10% applicants who enrolled, UT-Austin and TAMU have
somewhat different profiles. At UT-Austin, roughly half (46.2%-56.8%) of all Top 10%
applicants enrolled for each of the racial/ethnic categories. At TAMU, Top 10% White
applicants enrolled at higher percentages than did students of other ethnicities. In 2012, 59.5
percent of Top 10% White applicants enrolled at TAMU, compared with 42.9 percent of African
8
Americans, and 45.1 percent of Hispanics,. The percentages of Top 10% applicants who
enrolled at public universities other than TAMU and UT-Austin were: 41.8 percent for Whites,
30.9 percent for Hispanics, and 28.3 percent for African Americans.
One way to gauge the effect of the Top 10% legislation is by comparing the Texas Top 10%
enrollees with all other Texas entering students. At UT-Austin, almost three out of four resident
enrollees were in the Top 10%, with 82.9 percent of the Hispanics enrolled coming from the
Top 10% (the highest percentage) and 66.7 percent of the Whites enrolled (the lowest
percentage). At TAMU, 61.7 percent of entering students from Texas were in the Top 10%, with
Hispanic students having the highest rate (74.4 percent in 2012) followed closely by African
American students (73.9 percent).

From a statewide perspective, over half of all Top 10% students enrolling in Texas public
universities attended one of the state’s two research institutions: over 28 percent entered UTAustin and almost 26 percent entered TAMU. The University of Houston enrolled 5.5 percent of
Top 10% students, the highest percentage among the other state universities. Examining all
sectors of Texas higher education (public and private) almost 80 percent of Top 10 % students
enroll in higher education.
Two thirds of total Top 10% applicants were enrolled in universities as Top 10% students in
fall 2012. About 6 percent were found in private universities and 3.6 percent were found in
community and technical colleges. For fall 2010 (the most recent year this data was available)
9
an additional 4.57 percent were found to attend Texas higher education institutions in the
subsequent year and over 6 percent were found attending higher education out of state.
Top 10% Enrollees by Other Student and High School Characteristics1
The statute also mandates examination of the Top 10% by socioeconomic status (SES), and by
whether the students graduated from small high schools, or public high schools that send few
students to universities (Appendix B).
Socioeconomic Status. Almost 5,600 of the 17,597 Top 10% enrollees at all universities
are considered to have low SES based on whether they received free or reduced lunch under
the National School Lunch Program and Child Nutrition Program or other public assistance.
The statewide percentage of low SES Top 10% students increased from 29.6 percent in fall
2011 to 31.8 percent in fall 2012. Of the low SES Top 10% enrollees, 21.4 percent attended
UT-Austin in fall 2012. Another 19.3 percent went to TAMU, leaving nearly 60 percent who
attended other Texas public universities. The University of Houston led the other universities
in the enrollment of low SES students in the Top 10% with 461 students or 8.3 percent of
low SES enrollees.
Graduates from Small High Schools. Statewide, about 600 of all Top 10% students
enrolled in fall 2012 were from high schools that had fewer than 50 graduates. These
students were more likely to enroll in TAMU than in UT-Austin; 145 chose to attend TAMU
and 66 to UT-Austin in fall 2012. The third most popular institution for small high school
graduates was Texas Tech University, which attracted 58 students or 9.7 percent of small
Top 10% high school graduate enrollees in fall 2012.
Graduates of High Schools with Low University-Going Rates. There were 918 Top
10% students enrolled in 2012 that came from high schools designated as those sending
few students to universities. TAMU University enrolled a larger percentage of these students
(24.1 percent) than UT-Austin (19.2 percent). The remaining 56.8 percent attended other
public universities, with the University of Houston (88 students or 9.6 percent) leading the
list among this group.
Statewide, 1337 Top 10% graduates from high schools designated as those sending few
students to universities applied to Texas public universities. This represents 5 percent of the
graduates from these schools.
1
University enrollees from high schools that are small or have low university-going rates, and those
with low SES status are determined using data in the Texas Education Agency’s (TEA) high school
graduate files. For the fall 2012 FTIC cohort, 1202 of 18,799 enrollees identified by universities as
Top 10% Texas residents could not be found in TEA public high school graduation files in the prior
years (some of the students may have attended private high schools). These data elements are
missing for those students, and are not included in the descriptive statistics for the details by student
characteristics.
Regional Analysis. The most populous regions of the state sent the most total FTIC and
the most Top 10% enrollees to public universities in fall 2011 and fall 2012. Each region’s
10
percentage of all first-time-in-college students is within 4 percentage points of its percentage
of Top 10% enrollees, with the Gulf Coast, Metroplex, and South Texas regions topping the
list. The Northwest region accounted for the lowest percentage of FTIC students and Top
10% students of any region (Table 5 and Appendixes C, D).

At UT-Austin, Top 10% students from the Gulf Coast region (31.6 percent) and the Metroplex
(25.8 percent) made up over half of all Top 10% first-time students in fall 2012. TAMU’s
comparable figures were 30.9 percent and 24.3 percent
The regions with the largest numbers of Top 10% first-time enrollees entering UT-Austin were
the Gulf Coast region (1,629 students), followed by the Metroplex region (1,259) and the South
Texas region (1,032). In contrast, less than 100 Top 10 % students entered UT-Austin for the
each of the Northwest, West and High Plaines regions.

Appendix F
Texas Education Code 51.803(l) That Mandates the Top 10% Report
51.803 (l) The Texas Higher Education Coordinating Board shall publish an annual
report on the impact of Subsection (a-1) on the state's goal of closing college access and
achievement gaps under "Closing the Gaps," the state's master plan for higher education, with
respect to students of an institution that offers admission under that subsection,
disaggregated by race, ethnicity, socioeconomic status, and geographic region and by whether
the high school from which the student graduated was a small school, as defined by the
commissioner of education, or a public high school that is ranked among the lowest 20 percent
of public high schools according to the percentage of each high school's graduates who enroll
in a four-year institution, including a general academic teaching institution, in one of the two
academic years following the year of the applicant's high school graduation. On request, a
general academic teaching institution that offers admission under Subsection (a-1) shall
provide the board with any information the board considers necessary for the completion of
the report required by this subsection.
