<p>I'm a high school senior awaiting my admissions decision and I'm not sure if I should bother submitting the housing application (and paying the fee) yet. I expect to get into the university, but I wouldn't be able to attend unless I got significant financial aid or scholarships. Will all the housing be full by the time I found out about scholarships/FA? It's not that I can't afford the housing fee, I just don't want to spend another $50 if I wouldn't be able to go to Texas anyway.</p>
<p>Out of state admission is very competitive and UT is known for being stingy in financial aid. I think you are taking your step a little bit too fast, just wait for the acceptance and financial packet to come and make you decision at that point.</p>
