Hey y'all, I'm currently stressing out about college admissions. 🙈 Does anyone know the most recent percentage rank required for automatic admission to UT Austin? And does that apply to out-of-state students too?
Hello! UT Austin's automatic admission policy currently guarantees admission to Texas high school seniors who rank within the top 6% of their graduating class. This policy applies only to in-state applicants, as out-of-state students are not eligible for automatic admission.
Out-of-state applicants will undergo a holistic review process where various factors such as coursework, GPA, test scores (if applicable), essays, extracurriculars, and other personal experiences will be taken into account. While there is no specific percentage rank requirement for out-of-state students, UT Austin is a competitive school, so it's ideal to strive for a high class rank and strong overall application to increase your chances of admission.
Don't stress too much – just make sure to work hard and focus on making your application as strong as possible. Good luck!
