Could I get into UT Austin my first year?

In a public school like UT Austin, probably.</p>

Oh, so you’re a first-gen college student? Let me give you a hint:</p>

<p>Forget about UT and go to A&M. A&M has a scholarship for first-gen students that pretty much pays for half of your on-campus housing. That, combined with the amount of grants you’ll get from A&M due to its much superior funding, will net you almost a free ride.</p>
