Acceptance rate for UT Austin regular decision?

I want to apply to UT Austin but I'm curious about the acceptance rate for regular decision applicants. Is it significantly different from other rounds?

a year ago

The overall acceptance rate for the University of Texas at Austin fluctuates yearly, and it was around 29% for the most recent admissions cycle. However, please note that the university doesn't typically release separate acceptance rate figures for Early Action, Early Decision, or Regular Decision. This common practice among universities helps to maintain a level of confidentiality around their admissions process.

That said, generally speaking, Regular Decision can be more competitive because there are usually more applicants; on the other hand, Early Decision may demonstrate a higher level of interest in the school, since it is a binding commitment. Even so, the specific acceptance rate for each type of decision round can vary heavily based on the applicant pool each year, the university's specific needs, and other factors.

It's important to remember that the acceptance rate isn't everything. What's crucial is that you present your most authentic and comprehensive self in your application, and apply in the round that suits your circumstances and readiness best. Whether that is Early Action, Regular Decision, or another round, focus on the elements you can control: your essays, extracurricular involvement, recommendation letters, and so on. Aim to articulate why you are a great fit for UT Austin, what you can contribute to the university community, and what you hope to gain from your time there.
