<p>How long are everyone’s essays?</p>
<p>Question: Do you have to submit the normal UT app before you can get to the honor application?</p>
<p>Yes ponder, check the box that says ‘Are you interested in the honor program’ and the option will be available afterwards.</p>
<p>I am a student from California.
How much harder or easier is it for out of state students to get accpeted?</p>
<p>Right now, with the 10% law its hard for anyone out of state or not in the to 10% to get in to UT, but that doesn’t mean it doesn’t happen, its just harder…</p>
<p>I disagree. I think it is a bit easier for OOS than instate. Because of the 10% rule for instate, I think they have it harder. My D got in with a 3.6 gpa and 27 act as an OOS applicant. She got in to the communication school. Some schools are easier than others. Business and Engineering are really hard. Last year they took more OOS applicants. No one knows how many this year. I have been told that Texas wants to increase its national reputation. They also like the higher tuition for OOS> If that continues, then they might continue to admit more. Not many people apply form out of state. Therefore, the odds are better than you might imagine. Also, OOS admission is more holistic., For instate it is based solely on Rank.</p>

<p>Thanks all! My son is definitely excited and glad the whole app thing is over. Now he can just focus on the rest of senior year, and hopefully not get caught by the senioritis bug!</p>
<p>moochi - welcome! And, you might hear back before then, getting it in early helps…</p>

<p>Transfer applications are pretty similar, but one of the personal essays becomes a Statement of Purpose. In the event he’s a transfer, here’s that link too.</p>
