<p>Remember how some websites say that the acceptance rate is like 45%</p>
<p>that’s really for in state students…</p>
<p>I picture it between 10-20% OOS…but also I heard a rumor that they doubled the amount of OOS for this year.</p>
<p>If anyone can clarify if this is true or if I’m confusing information pls correct me</p>
<p>They doubled the number of out state kids??.. that’d be awesome!</p>
<p>^^ No, sorry, they didn’t double the number of OOS admits this year! </p>
<p>By amended law effective this admissions cycle, OOS and international students cannot constitute more than 10% of the freshman class. So 10% is the max allowed; non-Texas admits could be less than 10%. </p>
<p>The only group that got a clear bump from the amended law was Texas non-auto admits. For the first time this year, auto admits are capped at 75% of the freshman class, giving UT the opportunity to admit more Texans who have a class rank outside this year’s qualifying percentage for automatic admission (top 8%) or who come from non-ranking schools. Before amendment, the original top 10% law created a situation where up to 85% of the entering freshmen were auto admits, leaving very little room for Texas non-auto admits or OOS and international students.</p>
<p>Good luck!</p>
<p>I would think a school would want to be more diverse and accept more OOS especially because OOS pays more for tuition. the only state schools that I kno mostly take in state are university of Florida, Texas, and UNC chapel hill. Im from Mass and I got into umass Amherst and I’m pretty positive we take alot of out of staters for DIVERSITY. that way people can meet people from dif states and the dif subcultures from those dif states. is there a reason why Texas is sheltering themselves from that? I just don’t get it.</p>
<p>Most state flagships show preference to residents in admissions. For one thing, it’s a worthy state priority to provide a high caliber college opportunity to the resident taxpayers’ best and brightest children. UT’s 90-10 preference is regulated by statute designed to address legal claims of racial and reverse discrimination. See the above discussion.</p>
<p>U Mass Amherst’s website says 20% OOS + international.
[UMass</a> Amherst: Undergraduate Admissions - Out of State Students](<a href=“http://www.umass.edu/admissions/application_process/Out_of_State_Students/]UMass”>http://www.umass.edu/admissions/application_process/Out_of_State_Students/)</p>
<p>i don’t see how they could really add more OOS kids with the top 8/10/whatever% in effect.</p>
<p>75% of the incoming freshman class will be top 8% people this year, yes? so the other 25% will be non-auto admit IS, OOS, and int’l. like citystudent mentioned, a lot of state schools favour IS students. increasing the OOS and int’l count would mean more IS would be lost to other schools proportionally, and they would probably rather lose more OOS/int’l students than IS. to sound less confusing, i’ll make up some numbers.</p>
<p>let’s say 25,000 students applied and 10,000 slots are available. of those students:</p>
<p>7,500 auto-admits.
15,000 IS non-auto admits.
2,500 OOS/int’l.</p>
<p>the class will consist of:</p>
<p>75% auto = 7,500
20% IS = 2,000 IS
5% = 500 OOS/int’l.</p>
<p>based on the numbers, 20% of the OOS were admitted while 13% of the IS were admitted. 1,500 OOS/int’l were denied, 13,000 IS were denied.</p>
<p>what i’m thinking is that 1,500 loss of OOS students is much less of a sacrifice than 13,000 IS students, especially since many IS who get CAP’d/denied have great stats. they’ll be losing those students to other schools in the state that they’re competing with.</p>
<p>that’s just my opinion!</p>
<p>O.m.g. I didn’t know that.
r u gonna trasfer?</p>
<p>wait even for the nutritional part of natural sciences? I herd they were number 3 in the county for nutrition</p>
<p>Also just to let you know I got into Rice, Cornell, USC, Duke, Northwestern, and CMU. I choose UT because I thought I would receive an education comparable to those schools; and have to pay a much lower tuition. I would also get to live close to home.</p>
