<p>My family and I will be moving to Texas by mid-Summer before my Senior year. I will therefore be attending and graduating from a Texas High School, but will I have Texas residency when applying to UT-Austin? How will this affect my college admission process for the Texas colleges?</p>
<p>Well the rule is that you have to be a Texas Resident for 12 months prior to enrollment. I am not sure what the enrollment date is counted as, but if its from the first day of school or even the beginning of august, you might be in luck.</p>
<p>The worst that can happen is that I will not be counted as a Texas resident, and therefore not be a part of the top 10%?</p>
<p>That's not the problem, the problem is the tuition difference. Out of State students have a much higher tuition than instate, and if your not considered a resident, you won't get the resident tuition.</p>
<p>Money is not too big of a problem, especially since I would definitely be able to get residency by Sophomore year, but getting in seems more difficult, especially in the field I want to go in: engineering.</p>
<p>What are your stats/ have you taken the SATs yet?</p>
<p>I have not taken the SATs yet. My UW GPA is around 3.7.</p>

<p>Call and ask them.</p>
<p>If you move before late August you would be considered a resident for tuition purposes.</p>
<p>I don't know about for admission purposes. My initial thought would be that you would NOT be considered a resident as you wouldn't have lived in Texas for 12 months at that point.</p>
<p>And you might not be in the top ten percent at your new school. Many schools have policies against students who have attended less than a certain number of semesters from being included in their rankings, to prevent last minute transfer students from taking top ten spots away from "their" kids.</p>
