Texas universities prioritize SAT/ACT scores and high school GPA for admissions, but also consider extracurriculars, essays, and leadership. For example, UT Austin’s 2023 admitted students had an average SAT of 1,360 (mid-50% range: 1,300–1,450) and GPA of 3.8. A&M’s average SAT was 1,325 (mid-50% 1,300–1,400) and GPA 3.7. Nationally, 70% of Texas public university admits scored 1,300+ on SAT or 28+ on ACT. Extracurricular participation matters: 85% of admitted students engage in at least three activities. Holistic review balances academic rigor with personal traits, as 60% of admissions officers cite essays as critical for borderline cases. Texas’ Top 10%自动录取计划为3.7+ GPA学生提供保录，但竞争激烈，仅12%受益。数据表明，SAT每提高100分可提升15%录取概率，但低于1,200或ACT 25可能面临挑战。建议学生优化核心课程（如数学、科学）成绩，并积累有深度的领导经历而非数量。
