Want to help keep Austin weird? If you’re also looking for a major research institution, a school with more than 50,000 students, and a “public Ivy,” UT Austin just may be your cup of tea. The first college to host a presidential library (LBJ all the way), a major competitor in Division I sports, and alumni that include Matthew McConaughey and Laura Bush (the only time those two names have ever been linked), UT has a lot of bragging rights. Here’s what you need to know about UT Austin admissions, including how to get into UT Austin, UT Austin SAT scores, UT Austin ACT scores, and much more!<\/p>\n

“I love everything about my university, University of Texas at Austin. The location is very convenient – around local and chain restaurants, bus stops, shopping areas, and nightlife. The campus is beautiful and is very safe. Austin is a beautiful city with so much to do – let’s just say you will NEVER be bored. Whether it’s kayaking, partying, hiking, or just roaming around the city, there is always something to do when you aren’t studying. The Longhorn spirit at UT is overwhelming and extraordinary. I always look forward to football seasons because it’s the best time of the year! I love the support that the students show for all our athletic teams. UT is overall an exceptional choice for undergrad. Everyone falls in love with the culture and the burnt orange pride.” — UT Austin59805, AdmitSee<\/a><\/div>\n

So the middle 50% UT Austin SAT scores<\/a> were 1230-1480, huh? As with many state schools, it’s not quite that simple. First of all, let’s take a look at that breakdown.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n

One big factor to take into consideration is where you’re from. Texas residents, you guys have the upper hand here, for sure. If your grades are high enough, your test scores don’t matter (and this skews the test scores above). Basically, if you’re in the top 6% of your class (for 2021\/2022 admissions), you are automatically admitted to UT Austin. That’s why, historically, these stats are lower for Texas students, as they were last year:<\/p>\n
