I am a senior applying to UT’s Dean’s Scholar, Turing Scholar, and Engineering Honors programs. These programs require a STEM teacher’s recommendation, which I have arranged. However, the regular UT application also has a recommendation option.
Is the Honors application considered separately or with the regular application. In other words, will not having a regular recommendation hurt my Honors application? I am in the top 3 of my graduating class and thus eligible for auto-admission (I am a Texan).
Any information regarding the application review process would be greatly appreciated. Thanks!
