I will answer based on what I have read on this site - if you are in the top 1-3% of your graduating class (instate) then you are pretty much a shoe-in. If you are lower than that, then you need high test scores to push you above others. If you are lower than 6% or so, it gets pretty tough, although there are posters who have gotten in. I think it may help to apply early, but I don’t know for sure. Apparently, they fill 75% of the class with kids starting at 1% and moving down, after 75% of the class is filled, they begin to look at other factors, such as test scores.

Suffise it to say, it is the most difficult of the ug schools at UT to get into. If I have given you any incorrect info, somebody will, I’m sure, post a correction.
