High school coursework
Honors or advanced placement
Dual credit (on an official college transcript)
Extracurricular activities
Leadership experiences
Civic or other service activities

Special talents or awards
Diversity of experience
If you do not meet the assured admission requirements, we strongly encourage you to respond to essay topics A, B and/or C on the ApplyTexas application and submit up to three letters of recommendation.
*ACT composite score; SAT sum of critical reading and math; writing portions of both tests are required, but not used in determining assured admission. We combine the highest SAT critical reading and math scores from multiple test dates.
