Hold on to Your Horses (or Longhorns): UT Does the Heavy Lifting
That's right, partner. UT Austin usually reviews your TSI scores when they're mulling over your application. So, if you submitted your glorious SAT or ACT scores, those might have already done the trick.
But hold on to your hat! There might be a chance your scores from the mighty TSI need some extra attention. UT Austin will let you know if that's the case.
