“The best piece of advice it to visit theJan 19 2004Social Work
The best piece of advice it to visit the campus early as well as participate in some recruiting events, whether it be Corps of Cadets, Academic, etc as it shows that you are motivated for the school. It is very competitive with the top 10% rule, but if you aren't there you still have a chance to get it. Another option would be Blinn Team (a community college) where you are co-enrolled.

I applied. To get in now, they need to be in the top 10% of their class, so they need to start trying to make good grades starting their freshman year in high school. If they can't get in on the first try, they can go to a jr. college and transfer in the second semester.

“I was top ten percent in my class whichSep 24 2003Biology
I was top ten percent in my class which allowed for my automatic acceptance and really took the pressure off during application time!! Keep the grades up in high school for this perk, and to develop good study habits. The work won't help you, but the study skills are necessary.

Join organizations! If they don't have the organization you want find 10 people and create one yourself. The University will pay for it. I also recommend living in the dorm your first year to make friends.
