to any Texas Public University, except for the University of Texas For Fall 2020 UT freshman, automatic admissions is the top 6% Although SAT/ACT scores are not considered for admissions, they must still be submitted during the application process Priority Admission Deadline: Applications must be submitted by this date to be admitted under the top 10% rule or a university’s general admission requirement cut-offs Applications received after a priority deadline will be reviewed individually Review/consideration: Universities will consider students who fall under their automatic admit cut-offs However, it’s crucial to submit essay C, letters of recommendations, and a strong resume to bolster your case for admittance Another good strategy is to retake your SAT score and submit it (even if it’s past the deadline) Priority Financial Aid Deadline: FAFSA/TASFA applications received by this deadline will have first priority for funds Students submitting a FAFSA/TASFA after this deadline still can receive financial aid; however, they might not receive as much or their financial aid award may be delayed ALWAYS submit your FAFSA/TASFA though―even if you miss this priority deadline! SAT composite scores listed are the combined math and critical reading scores
