gpa to get into university of texas in austin and or dallas?

I don't think any GPA will guarantee entrance at Austin. Over a 3.8 will give you a good shot though. Get over a 3.25 and you are a good shot for Dallas.

Thanks

Many of the U of Texas branches do not have a specific GPA that they require, rather your admission into their university system is based on a multitude of things, which you can find out more specifics on, on their website. These specifics include: rank in your high school (if you're a fresh grad), what your extracurricular activities were, were you a member of any organizations such as NHS, did you take any AP classes, do you have any additional 'qualifiers' - such as minority . . what is your SAT score, did you have to write an essay for your application packet, how did you answer their questions, . . . and the list goes on, but to get a better idea, check out their website, and if need be, call their admissions office and ask someone!

Good luck!

If you are in the top 10% of your high school graduating class you will be admitted to the state school of your choice; but, not necessarily to your first choice field of study.

E.g., if you graduate in the top 8% of your class you will get into Austin but not the business school. This will be true even if your SAT's would otherwise put you in the top half of b-school admissions!

A&M is a bit less restrictive - last time I looked they were still accomodating all top 10% to their first choice field of study; however, that is not guaranteed and can change without notice. (It may have already changed.)

UTD/UTA/Texas Tech/UNT all have less restrictive admissions than Austin and A&M - get to know the requirements.

Also, apply early. A&M used to roll the admissions, meaning they offer admission in Septermber to top 10% students who may not be offered admission later in the year if the spots fill up.

Sound insane? Thank the Republican dominated State Legislature for this affirmitave action nigntmare.

everything moose said is true if you actually live in Texas. UT Austin is extremely difficult to get into for out of state students.
