Well said from the class of 2025 parent 
> Well, do not compare UT to UC Berkeley and UCLA. The latter two are international powers in science. UT is below that level. On Graduate school level, in National Ranking, UC Berkeley is #2 in math, #3 in physics, and #1 in Computer Science. UT Austin is #14 in math and #17 in physics, and #10 in Computer Science.
Longhorn fans will point to the Division-1 standing of their football team 
. BTW you will see on this forum that some OOS students with lesser stats were accepted.
> Admission to UC system is much more academic based. Much less “state” based. My kids experienced this OOS admission process, and I know it.
While I agree that OOS pool is much smaller, there are serious ambiguities in general on the ‘basis’ on which admissions are granted in UT.

Wanting to know more on HSS at UT. My D will be applying this fall.I don’t understand the process involved in getting into HSS. Where do we pick HSS I am assuming that you pick a major (like Nutrition pre med) under college of natural science first and then apply to honors college… Does this mean a separate undergraduate degree or is it something etc she will be required to do within her degree plan
