The University of Texas at Austin and Texas A&M University remain two of the most popular, and competitive, college destinations for Texas students. But applying successfully requires much more than strong grades and test scores.

This one-hour webinar will break down the UT Austin and Texas A&M admissions processes and help LASA families better understand how each university evaluates applicants.

We’ll explore automatic admission versus holistic review, the importance of class rank and academic rigor, how intended major can impact an admissions strategy, and what students should consider when selecting competitive programs such as engineering, business, computer science, and pre-health pathways. We’ll also discuss application strategy, essays and short answers, extracurricular activities, and common mistakes families should avoid.

Whether your student is just beginning to think about college or preparing to apply, this webinar will provide practical insight into what it takes to build a thoughtful, competitive application to two of Texas’s flagship universities.
