Attention Juniors and Junior
Parents - UT modifies Top 10% Admissions Program for
Fall 2011
SB 175, passed by the 81st Legislature, modifies the
top 10 percent admissions program for The University
of Texas at Austin. Under the new law the University
is to automatically admit enough students to fill 75%
of available spaces set aside for Texas residents in
an entering freshman class, beginning with the 2011
summer/fall class.
Using data from recent years, the University has determined
that automatically admitting students in the top 8%
of their high school class to the 2011 entering freshman
class will fill 75% of available spaces for Texas applicants.
As a result, UT Austin will automatically admit all
eligible 2011 summer/fall freshman applicants who rank
within the top 8% of their high school class, with remaining
spaces to be filled through holistic review. See more
information on UT
power point, slides 9-12.
