Attention All Students Graduating after 2010:

The University of Texas at Austin Automatic Admission Policy:

The University has determined that they will automatically admit all eligible 2011 summer/fall freshman applicants who rank within the top 8% of their high school graduating classes, with remaining spaces to be filled through holistic review.
 
Please note this does not apply to students graduating in the spring of 2010.
