Here at the University of California, the top n% of high-school students
are accepted for admission.  Of course, this is a blanket statement - but
it represents the general policy (n%==10 I think).

Enrollment is on the rise here, but California doesn't have a declining
population in anything.  Which may mean that if the state budget gets
slashed, that n% will be reduced...
