Actually, it is going to help a significant number of students. UT is saying that, presently, over 8000+ students will have their tuition covered fully and an additional 5000+ students will receive partial help. This is probably close to 30% of the undergrad population and these percentages will increase. Many students who are accepted to UT don’t attend because of the lack of financial aid. That is why I say the class rank % will decrease from 6% because UT’s acceptance yield will increase.
