College Major Selection after Top 2?

Hi all,

I am a student from the Cedar Park area (~40 minutes from UT Austin) and Maryssa Adams, the student counselor from UT, told us when she visited our class that if the first two majors are declined, if you are in the top 6% then they give you a list of all the majors with open seats and you are able to choose your pick. Is this true?

@ILikeGoodGrades Yes. Why are you asking for confirmation here if the UT admissions counselor gave you that information?

@FloMoMom I couldn’t find it anywhere on the internet so I just wanted to gather more info.
