Direct Admissions
Texas residents, find out which colleges will accept you today, before you even apply! Direct admission is only available to Texas residents.
Why use direct admissions?
With direct admissions, see where you are accepted before you even apply. You can go into the application process with more confidence and save on application fees. Important: Once the deadline has passed for colleges participating in direct admissions, you can no longer be accepted through this process until the next application cycle.

Direct admissions student scenarios
Scenario 1: Meet Latoya
Latoya is going into her senior year and wants to participate in direct admissions. Even though she hasn’t gotten her SAT or ACT scores yet, she has started the process by sharing her unweighted GPA and class rank.
Scenario 2: Meet Evan
Evan heard about direct admissions from his teacher and was worried he couldn’t participate without a class rank. Since his school doesn’t provide class rank, he’s using his unweighted GPA and SAT scores to opt-in.
Scenario 3: Meet Fatima
Fatima was excited about getting her college acceptance early through direct admissions. Since she didn’t take the SAT, she used her ACT scores to opt-in.
