<p>Can someone give me info on the linguistics department at UT? Is it difficult to be accepted into that dept.? </p>
<p>(And i don’t know if this will affect my chances but… i am currently living in Missouri and i am in the top 10% here. However my dad is in the military and his home state is listed as Texas…I know that in terms of tuition i will be considered instate but overall will my application be considered as OOS or instate? -.-)</p>
<p>anyways…
Right now i’m thinking of applying as either a linguistics major or a history major with a minor in biology [or viceversa]. Ultimately, my plan is to apply to University of Houston’s Optometry school.</p>
<p>If you can get in to Liberal Arts, you will be in to linguistics.</p>
<p>And I BELIEVE, but am not by any means positive, that if you are a Texas resident and graduate in the top ten percent of your graduating class, regardless of where that school is located, you are in automaticaly. I know a kid who grew up in Dallas and whose parents live in Dallas who went to high school at a boarding school in Arkansas and was in the top ten percent there and was accepted under the top ten law at UT. I would contact admissions directly and get their opinion though.</p>
<p>I am going to be an entering freshman in Linguistics and Plan II and I’m really excited. It’s supposed to be one of the departments on the rise nationally, so that’s exciting.</p>
<p>yeah i am going to contact the admissions office and thanks for the info!</p>
