How to read these numbers
- The 2024 rate covers The University of Texas at Austin's whole applicant pool — early and regular applications counted together in one figure. It is not the rate of any single round.
- 1250–1510 is the middle half of admitted scores, not a cutoff: a quarter of admitted students scored below 1250, and a quarter scored above 1510.
- The table above holds 12 reported years, 2013 through 2024. Across them The University of Texas at Austin's rate ranged from 26.6% to 40.4%, so any single year is one point inside that range.
Each figure above describes a class a school already admitted in a completed cycle. It is a record of who was admitted, not a measurement of any one application.
