Application Review
UT uses a holistic review process for all applicants, including an evaluation of coursework, grades and academic rigor. UT’s holistic admissions review also gives students the opportunity to showcase nonacademic talents, including leadership, community engagement, critical thinking and intellectual curiosity. UT’s broad review process aims to evaluate each applicant’s college readiness and preparation to contribute in positive ways to the campus community. All applicants may be asked to provide additional academic information to assess readiness for college level coursework.
UT has prepared me to be the best version of myself because it has poured into each and every single one of my passions, talents and interests.
