<p>Do I have a better chance of getting accepted if I turn in my application to ut austin in august (engineering)? Also what if I still need to take my sat too get my goal score (2000+) in October, can I turn my SAT scores in after my application?</p>
<p>Really need help!!!!!!!!</p>
<p>No. UT Austin would wait for the deadline and review all applicants for competitive majors. Application due 12/1, score due 12/31.</p>
<p>Below is quoted from their admission website:</p>
<pre><code>“Texas applicants who qualify for automatic admission can find out rather quickly that they’ll be admitted to the university; decisions about their majors can take longer.
Applicants to competitive majors, even applicants who qualify for automatic admission, may have to wait until after the deadline to find out which major they’ll be admitted to.
Some decisions about admission to competitive majors can be made only after the applications from all applicants to that major have been reviewed. That means that most decisions for these majors cannot be made until weeks after the application deadline.
A few highly qualified applicants may receive an early decision even if they do apply to a competitive major.”

<p>There are earlier deadlines for honors programs. It is good to apply for housing early too.</p>
<p>^ Applying for housing before admitted?</p>
