What stands out at Texas Christian University

the regular-round rate

A ratio between two rates the school published. Not a change in anyone’s odds.

Early Decision68.1%
Regular round46.8%

935 of 1,373 early applicants were admitted, against 9,971 of 21,307 in the regular round. Early Decision is binding, and you can only use it at one school, which is exactly why the gap is worth knowing before you choose where to spend it.

396 admitted from a waitlist of 3,676.

1,083 students accepted a place on that list, and 396 were admitted from it, 36.6% of the students who waited. A waitlist offer here is not a near-miss anyone can plan around.
