I imagine it'll be about the same for UT. Good luck next fall! We're in the same boat

FYI: In terms of recruitment, UT does not = A&M.

if you have not yet done so, get involved with a club on campus. as a college sophomore(when you rush), you need to have college activities to put on your resume-you can no longer depend on your high school activities.

work extra hard to keep your grades as high as you can and be discreet when you are out with friends(no dancing on tables, beer chugging contests, pda, etc.)

work on getting recommendations now!! they like them at ut-austin toward the beginning of the summer. contact the alum. panhellenic nearest to your hometown-they may be holding an informational meeting in the upcoming months.
