This sounds somewhat ignorant but I want my chances at acceptance to this university to be as high as possible. Would it be less likely to get admitted into UT Austin under an English major than a Sociology major or vise versa? I know both programs are extremely good but I wanted to know if the acceptance rate into both programs would be easier than the other.
I hear that UT really cares about rank, so if you’re ranked high enough, you should be fine, hope that helps
Anything in COLA is going to be substantially easier to get into than, say, McCombs or Cockrell. Not to say COLA is easy, but, comparatively, it is. Both the majors you named are in COLA, so that’s probably the best chance you have at admission besides maybe UGS. Good luck with your application!
