<p>Can I move from California to Texas to be eligible for the CAP program, where I go to a different UT school for a year? How can I apply for CAP, or is it only if your UT Austin app doesnt get accepted? Thanks!</p>

<p>You don’t apply for CAP, they offer it to people who are rejected from the school</p>

<p>It would most likely be very hard and not worth it to get residency to qualify for CAP.</p>

<p>Why are you interested in UT Austin, with delayed entry through CAP, when you have excellent state universities in California for about $20K/year less (at in-state rates)?</p>

<p>If your stats aren’t high enough for direct admission to UT or to any UC you like, then another option would be to attend a local community college then transfer into a UC. CC-to-UC avoids the hassle and cost of trying to establish residency in another state.</p>

<p>It won’t work, I think you have to be living here for a certain amount of time. CAP is not offered to all those denied who are Texas residents, only some. If you apply to UT as a Texas resident and are denied, if your application is good, CAP is offered.</p>
