<p>since i’ve heard from token adult that i dont have to self-report my race, does it mean that im not considered as an intl applicant at UT-Austin anymore…sry…im not that smart.
the other thing is i browsed thru the official website of UT and it said that 75 % of the freshman class profile is based on the top 10% rule…something according to rank only within texas. so being an intl applicant, is it still possible for me to apply considering that i can only compete for the remaining 25 %??
someone help!! thanks in advance</p>
<p>you are still an international since you have to state your country.</p>
<p>thx.how abt my second question?about my chance.thats the most important one</p>
<p>There are over 55 thousand students at UT Austin. If 25% were not admitted because they were in the top 10% at a Texas school, that means about 14000 students were in the remaining 25%, and that’s more students than most schools have all-together.</p>
<p>I quality for the top 10% rule, but the business school does not use that rule, they still base 75% of their applications solely on rank, though. Last year the cut off was top 1.7%. I am in the top 4%, but I have great ECs and can write a good essay, so I’m hoping for the other 25% there. The business school only has 1000 students, so that means a measly 250 even had a chance at getting in with a rank of top 1.8% or higher.</p>
