<p>According to the November 2008 report on classes entering fall 2001 to fall 2008</p>

<p><a href="http://www.utexas.edu/student/admissions/research/HB588-Report11.pdf%5B/url%5D"&gt;http://www.utexas.edu/student/admissions/research/HB588-Report11.pdf&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p>

<p>Entering class fall 2008 had 6715 students.</p>

<p>5114 were graduates of Texas high schools automatically admitted under the top 10% law.
1208 were graduates of Texas high schools not automatically admitted
6322 total graduates of Texas high schools</p>

<p>6322/6715=94.15% of the class entering UT fall 2008.</p>

<p>I think this sentence is new to the November 2008 report. At least I never noticed them using the word "cascaded" in any of the other reports.

[quote]
Texas resident applicants are either admitted, “cascaded” to their second choice of major, offered Summer Freshman Admission, or offered the Coordinated Admission Program (CAP) at a UT System component school. Thus, Texas residents submitting a completed entering freshman application by published deadlines are not denied admission to UT Austin. Non-residents are either admitted or denied.

<p>So just 393 enrolled kids from OOS?
Wow.</p>

<p>Good. It’s a Texas Public University, all you OOSers get out lol. </p>

<p>DP</p>

<p>The report says the class has 208 international students. (page 6)
The report says 140 of the internationals graduated from Texas high schools. (page 7)
This means 68 international students are not from Texas high schools (assuming I can subtract).</p>

<p>The 393 enrolled and not from Texas high schools would include these 68 internationals.</p>

<p>So, 325 from the U.S. not from Texas and 68 international not from Texas… and 6322 Texans. :)</p>

<p>325? makes me feel like i got into MIT, stanford, and all of the ivy leagues just by asking nicely.</p>

<p>1 out of 325…not good odds.</p>

6

<p>Are you a current UT student, lbs321? Seriously, is it a problem to be one of very few OOS students?</p>

7

<p>325?! My confidence was just shot and buried in an empty field.</p>

<p>lol guys ~300 is the number that actually enroll…UT admits about ~1000 OOS applicants…and UT gets about ~4000 applications from OOS…this is from the 2007 stats from UT’s website…although im pretty sure the applications went up b/c 2009 is the largest graduating class…but i dont think they went up that much b/c people dont really want to attend an OOS college and pay higher tuitions b/c of the economy…</p>
