Thank you! He was accepted to McCombs and Plan II in the first round of acceptances which is an honor! UT does crazy admission roll-outs and their top applicants typically get acceptances into majors earlier. He was invited to apply for their most prestigious 40 Acre Scholar program. Supposedly now the invitation only goes to those they consider their top 1% of all applicants (no longer a separate application anyone can apply to). So perhaps he is only good/star/standout in his “setting” but UT sees something! Not sure the other schools will but we hope…perhaps UT has a good idea of what he has faced academically in our district and understands how hard it is to achieve what he has in that setting??? That is what we worry about - the others may not have context… No way to know obviously but we are thrilled with UT offer and remain hopeful!
