Understanding Texas Admissions and What Families Should Do to Stay Ahead

Texas’s largest universities are becoming more competitive each year, leaving many families wondering what steps their teens need to take to stand out in an increasingly selective process. UT Austin and Texas A&M received a combined 145,000+ applications for the most recent cycle, pushing selectivity higher and sustaining tight auto-admission thresholds.

For students considering these schools, understanding the options and planning early matters more than ever. The good news is that with the right strategy, students can still stand out. Join our “texperts,” Karen Kimball and Julie Brasseaux, as they break down what these current trends mean and how your student can make a strong impression during the admissions process.
