<p>I applied to Texas on October 5th. Still haven't heard back. I was 82/785, so just out of top 10%. My school told us that they will be giving us our final ranks on february 18th, before UT says they should start notifying non top-10ers of acceptance or not. What I want to know is if I move into top 10% and send in my new rank am i then accepted?</p>

<p>No. They will only look at your rank before your senior year/right after junior year. You would have to apply for the Spring '11 semester to be automatically accepted.</p>

<p>Oh bummer. Well thanks for the help.</p>

<p>Send in a transcript with the new rank (if you move up) anyway. There’s no guarantee, but it sure can’t hurt!</p>

<p>I disagree with the above. UT must admit you if you are in the top 10% of your graduating class per House Bill 175. There is no cut off date in the bill and the bill has the final word in the matter. Send in your updated transcript. </p>

<p>House Bill 175 - (a) Subject to Subsection (a-1), each [Each] general
academic teaching institution shall admit an applicant for
admission to the institution as an undergraduate student if the
applicant graduated with a grade point average in the top 10 percent
of the student’s high school graduating class in one of the two
school years preceding the academic year for which the applicant is
applying for admission and…"</p>

<p>Although he/she does qualify, he/she will have to at least wait 'till the Spring semester (for UT).</p>
