Graduate School Select Admission Program
The Graduate School Select Admission Program allows graduate programs to recommend academically outstanding University undergraduates for admission to seek a graduate degree. Students are normally nominated in the junior year, and programs are encouraged to limit their nominations each year to one or two outstanding undergraduates.
Nominations are forwarded to the Graduate School by the program’s graduate adviser or graduate admissions office with the recommendation of the Graduate Studies Committee. Undergraduate candidates may be extended an offer of admission and financial aid as early as the junior year, conditional upon completion of the baccalaureate degree. Application and transcript fees are waived; some graduate programs may waive submission of GRE scores. Admitted students may enroll in graduate courses at undergraduate tuition rates during the senior year and reserve the courses for graduate credit.
Additional information about the Graduate School Select Admission Program is available at http://www.utexas.edu/ogs/admissions/select.html , in the Office of Graduate Studies, and from the graduate adviser of the nominating graduate program.
