Texas universities have joined a number of other colleges and universities across 35 states in participating in a program, revolutionizing the normally tedious college application process by allowing students to determine if they will get accepted to a school before even applying. “As a father, I understand how confusing and stressful the college application process can be for your family. The move to include Texas in the process is huge considering the state has the second-highest number of college students in the country, with Best Colleges reporting that earlier this year that Texas has 1.56 million college students. The direct admissions process works by students entering their high school grade point average, class rank and standardized test scores. For the 2024-2025 application season, Common App launched its direct admissions program with 117 member colleges and universities.
