Pretty much anyone who wanted to go to UT in those days and had the state minimum SAT/ACTs could get in. That was before they guaranteed acceptance of the state's top 10% or 15% of its high school students, which I guess is why it has enrollment of 50,000 these days. If I had to do it over again, I'd have gone to a smaller university where there was less cut-throat competition and more personal attention. Like Purdue, which is a great school. You going to study engineering?
actually they just put an end to anyone one in the state thats in the top 10% gets in. but yea its all about UT baby... or Rice:thumbsup:
