<p>How much more difficult is it to get admitted to University of Texas at Austin as an out of state student?</p>
<p>How does geography (I reside in PA) and ability to pay full tuition (I would not apply for financial aid) effect admission?</p>
<p>I know for state schools such as UVA and UNC it takes near perfect grades to get admitted as an out of state student -- so how would you compare UT?</p>
<p>I don’t know that those statistics are available specifically for OOS.</p>
<p>But as you probably know, Texas has the 10% rule, (recently amended) that obligates UT-Austin to accept any Texas public high school student graduating in the top 10% of his/her class. That rule has been amended so that UT-Austin can limit the number of actually offered admission to 75% of the class. The remaining 25% of spots are allotted at the discretion of Admissions to private school graduates, out-of-staters and other top 10% Texans.</p>
<p>So, last year UT-Austin admitted roughly 13,000 of its 29,000 applicants. 25% of 13,000 leaves you fighting for 1 of 3245 spots. I would suspect that you need to be in the 75th%-tile of applicant stats to be considered a viable candidate for one of those spots, (That translates to, (obviously) at least 75% of students admitted will be in the top 10%, with a 30 ACT or 2000 SAT and comparable GPA).</p>
<p>oh buckets! thank you for the info</p>
