Hi everyone! I’m a current junior and my rank is 6.5% of my high school class. I know UT is top 6% but does 6.5% count too or does it have to be less than 6.0? Thanks!
I called last Fall and asked if they round and was told had to be within 6.09 percent for automatic admission. So unfortunately 6.5 does not qualify for automatic admission. That being said, it is your rank at the end of your Junior year that counts. Good luck.
Another point to be aware-
Auto admit is only to the university and not to your major of choice. We know of students who were auto admit that did not get accepted into their choice major. We also know of students who were not within the top 6 percent and yet did get accepted to their choice major. There are other factors considered not just ranking.
