Requirements and restrictions McCombs School of Business
In addition to submitting a complete application for admission, freshman applicants to the McCombs School of Business should also review the following information regarding special application requirements and admission restrictions.
- Fall-only Admission: First-time freshmen in the School of Business must begin their studies in a fall semester. (Business does not accept spring or summer applications.)
- Preparation: Students considering a business major should take math and science courses each year of high school.

Restricted Admission: School of Business
Because admission to the School of Business is so competitive, automatic admission for eligible Texas applicants is restricted to the most qualified applicants.
Admitting Students to Restricted Programs
The following information relates to the admissions process that will be used when admission decisions are made for applicants to summer/fall 2010 and spring 2011:
- Top 10% Texas graduates are admitted to Business based on their relative class rank (top 1%, top 2%, top 3%, etc.) until all available spaces for automatic admission are filled. (No more than 75% of the available spaces are filled through automatic admission.)
- If 75% of the available spaces in Business are filled before all top 10% applicants are admitted, the remaining top 10% graduates compete with all other applicants for any remaining spaces. Admission decisions about these remaining spaces are based on individual review.
- Top 10% graduates who are not admitted to the major of their choice are considered for their second-choice major. All top 10% Texas high school graduates who meet UT Austin’s application requirements are admitted to the University, although they may not be admitted to their requested major(s).
Details about how the admissions process will work for applicants to summer/fall 2011 and spring 2012 will be available later this fall.
