Join us on Wednesday, March 11 at 4:00 PM PT / 7:00 PM ET to learn what parents and students need to know about admissions trends at Texas’s largest universities.

What Texas Admissions Looks Like Now and What Families Need to Know to Get Ahead

If it feels like admissions to Texas universities are more competitive than ever, you are not imagining it. UT Austin and Texas A&M University are both seeing record-breaking numbers (more than 145,000 combined applications were submitted this cycle), leading to increased selectivity and tight automatic admission thresholds.

 

Pathway programs are also evolving. UT Austin has officially ended its PACE program and introduced a new transfer pathway, known as TAP-SEU. For students planning to apply to these schools in the near future, understanding your options and planning early matters more than ever.

 

The good news is that with the right strategy, students can still stand out. Join our “texpert,” Karen Kimball, as she breaks down what these changes mean and how your student can make a strong impression during the admissions process.
