What Are My Chances of Getting Into a Non-Guaranteed Program?
The information presented below was provided by The University of Texas at Austin. Information has not been provided for the 2005 to most recent cohorts.
CAP students are only guaranteed to return to UT-Austin in the School of Undergraduate Studies. However, when they indicate their interest in returning to UT-Austin, they may indicate a first choice major outside the School of Undergraduate Studies and a second choice of the School of Undergraduate Studies. Programs in the School of Architecture and the College of Fine Arts are not available as first choice majors.
The majority of those that participated in the CAP program during the 2004-2005 school year also enrolled in the guaranteed majors at UT-Austin:
