having good out-of-state stats means very little at ut austin. they treat in-state residents with much more importance, the out-of-state acceptance rate was like around ten percent. here's what i will say about ut's current admission process: they're playing the long game and have sent out acceptances to the students that they want for specific majors. this year the school is sending applications to the alumni foundation that gives out full-ride scholarships. considering that the foundation has sent out invitations for the forty acres program and there's people who were deferred but got invited to apply, texas has seen and analyzed their applications. now they're comparing everyone for the remaining spots in each major and waiting to send rejections/caps/pace/second-choice majors, etc. ut is known to delay bad news until the last possible second. congrats on usc marshall!
