UT Austin - International Student Admissions

How tough is it for an international student to get into UT Austin with a GPA of 3.8+ and SAT Score of 1470. My son is looking to do Environmental Engineering. Heard that UT Austin is very tough for International Students to get in as they give preference to In state students.

It should be considered a reach school for not only international students, but out of state US students as well. UT Austin fills 90% of their class with TX residents (by state law). It’s also difficult to be admitted to certain majors even after being accepted.

2.4% are international which is around 214 out of 8960… I wouldn’t waste an application fee on UT Austin. Just to compare around 5,000 are international at UT most are graduate and only 800 undergraduates.
