Hello everyone! I'm thinking about applying to the University of Texas next year, and I was wondering if anyone knows what their overall admission rate is? UT is one of my top choices, so this info would help me a lot. Thanks!
Hello! The University of Texas at Austin, also known as UT Austin, is a competitive public research university with an overall acceptance rate around 32%. However, keep in mind that acceptance rates may be higher or lower depending on the specific program you're applying to. Additionally, the in-state acceptance rate for Texas residents is usually much higher than the out-of-state acceptance rate, due to the state's automatic admission policy for the top 6% of Texas high school graduates.
Regardless of your intended major and state of residence, though, the best approach is to focus on presenting a strong application by highlighting your academic achievements, extracurricular involvement, and personal qualities. Good luck with your application to UT Austin!
