UTSA Admissions: Not Exactly Fort Knox
The good news, my friend, is that UTSA admissions are lightly selective. That means around 87% of applicants get in. So, if you're not totally zoned out in class and haven't, you know, accidentally set off the fire alarm one too many times, you're probably in good shape.
QuickTip: Reading carefully once is better than rushing twice.
But Hold Your Horses (or Longhorns, Whatever)
While UTSA isn't exactly Harvard (though hey, who knows, maybe you aced that history project on the Alamo!), there are still things to consider. Here's the lowdown:
- Grades Matter (Duh): Having a decent GPA shows you can handle college work. Think of it as training for those epic all-nighters in the library (with snacks, of course).
- Test Scores: SAT and ACT scores are part of the mix. Don't worry, you won't need to be a math whiz to survive UTSA (unless you're majoring in astrophysics, then maybe brush up on those constellations).
- Standing Out From the Herd (of Roadrunners): UTSA loves well-rounded individuals. Did you build a robot that folds your laundry? Volunteer at the local animal shelter? Showcase those talents!
The Ultimate UTSA Admissions Checklist (Cliff Notes Version):
QuickTip: Pause at transitions — they signal new ideas.
- Don't nap through high school.
- Make friends with numbers (at least a little).
- Channel your inner Beyonce and SHINE.
How to FAQs: UTSA Admissions Edition
1. How to Make My Application Stellar?
QuickTip: Slow down if the pace feels too fast.

UTSA loves well-rounded applicants. Highlight your achievements, be it academics, sports, or that time you won the school chili cook-off (everyone loves a good chili!).
2. What if My Scores Aren't Perfect?
UTSA looks at the whole picture. A lower score can be balanced by a strong GPA and a killer application essay (where you talk about something way more interesting than that time you stubbed your toe).
Tip: Highlight what feels important.
3. Should I Take the SAT or ACT?
UTSA accepts both. Take whichever one you feel more comfortable with (and maybe the one that has the day you're most likely to be fueled by copious amounts of coffee).
4. Help! I Have a Question Not Covered Here!
No worries! UTSA has a fantastic admissions team who are there to help. Send them an email, they won't bite (unless you're maybe wearing a Horned Frog shirt, but that's a whole other story).
5. UTSA or Another Texas School?
UTSA offers a fantastic education at a great value. But hey, Texas has a wealth of colleges. Do your research and pick the one that feels like the right fit for you (like your favorite pair of jeans, only hopefully with less chance of encountering a rattlesnake).
