Top seniors at public and private high schools in Tennessee will be guaranteed a spot at any University of Tennessee System campus they apply to under a new policy approved by the UT board of trustees Friday.
Under the policy, which goes into effect for students applying to start school in fall 2024, applicants will need to meet admissions deadlines and one of three criteria:
— Finish in the top 10% of their graduating class.
— Achieve a 4.0 or higher GPA.
