Class rank for auto admit help

Does UT take class rank at end of junior year or rank shortly into senior year to determine if I qualify as auto admit? My counselor submitted the most recent transcript as of when I applied, in October I was ranked 31/471, which is top 6.6%. She says ut requests the most recent transcript and said I should’ve applied earlier. However in July this year I was 26/470, which is top 5.5%, meeting the cutoff. This will be faxed to admissions to go in my file but mystaus lists my rank as the 31/471. Will admissions consider the junior rank when deciding if I get auto admit or the most recent rank? Also my grades did not drop, I’ve been working hard to maintain all As, I have no clue how I fell 5 places.

Also the counselor and I called admissions which is when they told us to fax the transcript from junior year listing the 5.5% rank but they didn’t say if I would qualify for auto admit or not and I don’t want to call again and bother : /

If you really want to attend UT, I’d suggest you call again and ask directly if you’d be considered for AA given the rank update. RD, even in-state, is ultra competitive. You’d hate to kick yourself later.
