Senate Bill 175, passed by the 81st Texas Legislature, allows The University of Texas at Austin to limit automatic admission to 75 percent of the university’s enrollment capacity designated for first-time resident undergraduate students.
The University has determined that it will automatically admit all eligible summer/fall 2022 and spring 2023 freshman applicants who rank within the top six percent (6%) of their high school graduating classes, with remaining spaces to be filled through holistic review. This remains unchanged since the last school year. A letter from University President ad interim Jay Hartzell is attached to this correspondence.
This information should be shared with all high school junior-level students and their parents.
If you have questions regarding this policy, please contact Rachelle Hernandez, Senior Vice Provost for Enrollment Management and Student Success, at The University of Texas at Austin at (512) 471-4363.
