In a different post, the loneranger said “Well there will be roughly 7500 entering freshmen. There is roughly a 60% yield at UT. So that means that roughly 12,500 were admitted. 80 percent were top ten. So that means that 10,000 admitted students are top ten kids and 2500 are not top-ten or are out-of-state. The total admission percentage has been just under half, so that means that about 25,000 kids applied. If you take out the top ten kids, that means that 15,000 non-top ten kids applied for 2500 spots, or an acceptance rate of 1/6, or just under 17%.”

In gibbusoft’s letter above, UT Admissions said “Three times as many people apply as we are able to enroll” not “Three times as many people apply as we are able to accept” ?
