<p>I am an out of state student (CT) and was wondering what type of GPA and test scores usually will get an out of state student accepted.</p>
<p>I got in OOS with a 3.8, 2100/32, and I am a national merit finalist. I was denied for the Natural Science Honors, though. I assume you are a junior?</p>
<p>this year (incoming students in fall) the University admitted twice as many out of state students as years past. This was a politically motivated decision by the president, in an attempt to deny more in state students and change the law regarding 10% rule. I was told by admission that they admitted 2,000 oos versus 1000 in prior years. As a result, this year was a bit easier for oos than usual. my d got into the communication school with a 3.6w gpa and 27 act. great extracurricular, and good essay. OOS applicants are looked at differently than the strict in state rules. My daughter was shocked and thrilled to get in. Never expected to. She is attending in the fall. Hope this helps</p>
<p>Yea I’m a Jr. I have a 3.2 GPA (horrible Fr year but great after) and 1950 SAT</p>
<p>i think it depends on the college you apply to… i’ve heard that geosciences is easy to get into, and then you could do an internal transfer to change your major. i’m not sure if that’s really worth it though… try to bring your gpa up if you can, just in case. also, i think you get admitted quickly if you’re top 10% oos?</p>
<p>Admitting 1000 more out-of-staters is a political decision? </p>
<p>Let’s see, 1,000 more OOSs X $19,200 additional tuition differential = $19,200,000 more potential revenue during a recession. Sounds like someone finally took a business course instead of poli-sci.</p>
<p>Good math vinceh. However, not all oos admissions accept. I would assume it is less than 50%. how much, not sure.</p>
<p>The numbers they gave at our info session two weeks ago were that over 1,000 out of 4,000 applicants were accepted (about a 30% acceptance rate), but fewer than 400 of those who accepted actually attended.</p>

<p>Also, if you get any UT type scholarships, the OOS tuition is totally waived. But, I defintitely get your point.</p>
<p>I had a 2380/34, 3.8 GPA, and decent ECs, and got into engineering honors. My HS didn’t rank, but I was not in the top 10% by GPA.</p>
<p>If you get an athletic scholarship, though, OOS tuition is NOT waived. We just found that out. Sigh. Hence, we’re pursuing gaining status as a Texas resident.</p>
<p>Yeah, I am from Illinois, I got a 29 ACT, and just a 3.1 GPA and go into pre-journalism. But I had good extra-curriculars, work history, essays. Oh and alumni relation.</p>
<p>can you gain Texas residence if you go to UT but you rent a house off campus? or live in an off campus apartment for a year?</p>
