The University of Colorado states that it will only admit students from the top 10 percent of their high school class. Many states have already implemented this policy, such as Florida admitting the top 20 percent and California admitting the top 4 percent. Texas universities have faced complaints that they admit a large percentage of students solely on their rank in school. School boards want a cap on students admitted solely by that policy. This policy has boosted minority enrollment in some states, but that was not the main purpose of the enacted policy. Colorado's new policy sets up a reachable criterion in which students are guaranteed admission.
