<p>When I applied for UT Austin, I was in the top 11 percent and got capped into UTSA.</p>
<p>I just found out I am in the top 10 percent now. Is there any way for me to reapply to Austin and get in since technically they have to accept everyone in the top 10 percent?</p>
<p>they are forced to accept you if you are in the top ten percent, but they will not accept you for the fall semester if you reach it after the deadline. You will have to wait till the spring and they dont allow you to take classes at any other college so you'd have some time off. Im in the same situation as you, but decided instead of taking a semester off to just swallow my pride and go to a&m.</p>
<p>Yeah the deadline was Feb 1st, I just called them.</p>
<p>They told me I have a very slim chance for an appeal, but it might work, and I might be let in. I moved from around 87/580 to around late 40ish/566, is this a good enough reason? or I'm just up for Spring?</p>
<p>Otherwise, I have to either CAP or reapply in the Springs.</p>
<p>About reapplying for Spring, what am I gonna do with all those other hours that I need?</p>
<p>Sec. 51.803. AUTOMATIC ADMISSION: ALL INSTITUTIONS. (a) Each general academic teaching institution shall admit an applicant for admission to the institution as an undergraduate student if the applicant graduated in one of the two school years preceding the academic year for which the applicant is applying for admission from a public or private high school in this state accredited by a generally recognized accrediting organization with a grade point average in the top 10 percent of the student's high school graduating class. To qualify for admission under this section, an applicant must submit an application before the expiration of any application filing deadline established by the institution. </p>
<pre><code> (b) After admitting an applicant under this section, the institution shall review the applicant's record and any other factor the institution considers appropriate to determine whether the applicant may require additional preparation for college‑level work or would benefit from inclusion in a retention program. The institution may require a student so identified to enroll during the summer immediately after the student is admitted under this section to participate in appropriate enrichment courses and orientation programs. This section does not prohibit a student who is not determined to need additional preparation for college‑level work from enrolling, if the student chooses, during the summer immediately after the student is admitted under this section
</code></pre>
<p>At least according to the letter of the law, there is absolutely nothing stopping you from enrolling in another college while wating for spring admission. They have to take you since it's been less than 2 years. You would also have less than 30 hours so would likely be considered under the transfer pool.</p>
<p>I would call and confirm the official policy. If they claim that enrolling in another university would disqualify you from entering UT, you should look into pursuing legal action because that policy is illegal under the top ten percent law.</p>
<p>Oh double post but, does anyone know what happens with Financial Aid and all? Because even though if I get in (IF), there probably aren't gonna be much money left to distribute, so, does anyone know anything about this?</p>
