About the Event

Applying to UT Austin and Texas A&M. What Every Family Needs to Know.

Is your teen dreaming of burnt orange or maroon?


Applying to UT Austin or Texas A&M is more competitive than ever—and what you don’t know can hurt your chances. Whether you're just starting or deep into the process, this interactive webinar gives families the insight they need to submit a standout application.


Led by Austin’s most trusted college planning team, you’ll learn:

  • What “holistic review” actually means—and how to prepare for it

  • Why the Expanded Resume is critical (especially for UT)

  • How to plan ahead with classes, testing, and summer activities

  • What makes an application truly competitive—and what doesn’t

  • Key admissions trends we’re seeing right now


🗣️ This is an interactive presentation, questions are welcomed throughout, and we encourage families to submit questions in advance when registering.


📌 Parents and students should attend together, planning early gives your teen the edge.
