Senate Bill 175, passed by the 81st Texas Legislature allows The University of Texas at Austin to limit automatic admission to 75 percent of the university's enrollment capacity designated for first-time resident undergraduate students beginning with admissins for the 2011-2012 academic year.

The University has determined that they will automatically admit all eligible 2011 summer/fall freshman applicants who rank within the top 8% of their high school graduating classes, with remaining spaces to be filled through holistic review.

If you have questions regarding the new policy, please contact your counselor or contact Dr. Kedra Ishop, Vice Provost and Director of Admissions at The University of Texas at Austin, at 512-475-7399.
