<p>The Fall 2009 entering class had 6,569 freshmen (significantly lower than usual), from 861 feeder schools.</p>

<p>34 Houston-area schools, 20 Metroplex schools, 19 Austin-area schools, 7 San Antonio-area schools, 3 Valley schools, and one school each from El Paso, Corpus Christi, and College Station all sent 20 or more kids.</p>

<p>TAMS also had 29, and Austin LASA had 19. 8 Private schools sent 10 or more kids: Houston Kincaid, Bellaire Episcopal, Houston Strake Jesuit, San Antonio Antonian, Dallas Jesuit, Houston St. Agnes, Houston Second Baptist, and Episcopal School of Dallas.</p>

<p>Plano West was #1 with 79 kids; Plano Senior, Austin Westwood, Austin Westlake, and Plano East all also had over 50 kids. Highland Park dropped from number one, with 72 to 44, out of the top ten.</p>

7

<p>45 from my high school! I had no idea so many people from my class go to UT.</p>

8

<p>Over the last two years I have seen my daughter make a number of nice friends from Bellaire (Bellaire, near Houston) and from Liberal Arts and Science Academy (LBJ, Austin) . Interesting. Thanks.</p>

9

<p>^ I made a couple of friends from LASA (my roommate was from LASA) and Bellaire at A&M too lol. LASA is one if the top schools in Texas. Putting kids to Rice and Ivy league schools.</p>

10

<p>I wonder where did most of the Townview Magnet Center kids go, its probably the best school HS in texas.</p>

11

<p>Only 15 from my school (which is pretty competitive) of roughly 750+ in the graduating class. It was a weird year though, the Valedictorian (one of my best friends) went to Arkansas.</p>

12

<p>The UT entering class from our local HS continues to decline even though it is a very competitive school in suburban Houston. About half of the top 10% chose other schools including Harvard, Princeton, Stanford, MIT, USC, etc. Swarthmore admitted one that wasn’t in the top 10%, which was a surprise. By far, the biggest destination was University of Houston, followed by Texas A&M. Looked like the foreign students preferred UH and the native kids Texas A&M.</p>

13

<p>Looks like A&M Consolidated’s top half of their top 10% chose to go to utilize their ability to get automatically admitted to UT :)</p>

14

<p>11 peeps from my school. wow 79 kids from PW? o_o</p>

15

<p>28 from D’s school…this year 12 out of the top 20 kids from her HS are going to UT :)</p>

16

<p>Only 2 of the top 10 in my class of 2010 will go to UT. It was similar last year.</p>

17

<p>its Kinkaid not Kincaid just for the record…</p>

18

<p>Yeeeah! PLANO EAST REPRESENT!</p>

19

<p>A lot of kids from Lamar High school in Houston went to UT, but we had a bunch go to Rice.</p>

20

<p>From Sugar Land, TX (in Ft. Bend County) my high school, Austin HS, and our rival Clements send A LOT of top-10ers to UT. One girl who didn’t get in and was top 12% at Austin HS even went as far as to file a lawsuit which is still pending, just because she wanted to go to UT soooo badly.</p>
