ApplyTexas Application questions

Hey guys, I wanted to start a thread for anyone with any doubts or concerns about the UT Austin application. I, myself, have some questions I would appreciate if someone could answer.

  1. I am looking to apply to McCombs. I know that UT requires Essay A. I also see that there are two other optional essays. Are we required to do one or two of them or is it optional?
  2. I know recommendation letters are optional for UT but I am looking to send them in. Do I have to mail in my letters after I am done applying? If so, how many recommendation letters are recommended and how many have to be from core subject teachers?

Thanks so much for your help!

Your questions are answered on the page above.

  1. Essay A and one of the other essays is required. A lot of people do three.
  2. You can upload letters into the document management system after you apply. They can be from anyone, not just teachers.
