I'm trying to assess my chances at UT Austin since I'll be applying regular decision. Does anyone have insight into what the acceptance rate is for regular decision applicants?
The University of Texas at Austin (UT Austin) does not publish separate acceptance rates for Early Action/Early Decision and Regular Decision applicants. However, in the most recent reporting year, overall UT Austin had an acceptance rate of around 29%. Do keep in mind, though, that this acceptance rate can fluctuate from year to year based on the number and quality of applicants.
Remember that acceptance rates are just one piece of the college application puzzle, so while it can be helpful to know these statistics, it’s not the end-all-be-all. Your fit with a school and how well your academic and extracurricular background align with what the school is looking for in a student are both important factors as well. Keep working hard on your application and don't let statistics deter you. Good luck!
