  • Where graduates go, as the school itself publishes it. Ursuline Academy of Dallas publishes where its graduates go (Class of 2026): 205 colleges, including Boston College, Massachusetts, Boston University, Columbia University In the City of New York, Cornell University.
  • Worth asking admissions: the school profile. Reach doesn't yet show this school's SAT/ACT or AP results. Every private school produces a counselor's "school profile" for colleges, and most post it online — ask admissions for it. How a school answers says as much as the numbers.

Your state's public flagship

The University of Texas at Austin

admit rate
$11,688
in-state tuition/yr · $44,908 out-of-state
1230–1490
SAT 25–75 · ACT 27–33

The in-state tuition gap is the flagship's biggest draw — most in-state families pay far less than the out-of-state sticker. Average net price after aid runs about $19,857/yr. Admission odds depend on your student's GPA and test scores, not which high school they attend.

Pay for college in Texas

Texas's public scholarships

Texas families have two big levers: a guaranteed-admission rule for the top of each graduating class, and the need-based TEXAS Grant that pairs with it. Class rank does more here than almost anywhere.

Auto-admit Top 10% Automatic Admission
Guaranteed admission to a Texas public university (not a $ award)
GPA: Top 10% class rank (UT Austin caps at top 5%)

Graduate in the top 10% of your Texas public-HS class and finish the required curriculum for automatic admission to TX public universities (UT Austin caps at the top 5%). (Must finish the required college-prep curriculum (Distinguished plan).)

Official program details ↗
Need-based TEXAS Grant
Up to $16,182/yr (tuition & required fees)
GPA: No GPA gate to qualify (3.0 / top-third = priority) Income: Need-based (federal Student Aid Index)

Texas's flagship need-based grant — no GPA gate to qualify (a 3.0 or top-third rank just gives priority when funds run short). (Enroll within 16 months of HS, ≥¾ time, in a bachelor's program.)

Official program details ↗
Merit Texas First Early Completion Scholarship
Scholarship equal to the TEXAS Grant amount
GPA: 3.0 Test: SAT/ACT at the 80th percentile OR top-10% class rank

Graduate at least a semester early with the Distinguished plan plus a 3.0 GPA and an 80th-percentile test (or top-10% rank) for a TEXAS Grant-sized scholarship. (Graduate at least a semester early with the Distinguished plan.)

Enrollment trend & projection

Total enrollment went from 863 in 2018 to 870 in 2022 — over 4 years.
+0.8%
Why only 3 data points?

Private school enrollment comes from the NCES Private School Universe Survey (PSS), which is collected every other year — not annually like public-school data. The most recent published collection is 2021–22; NCES targeted spring 2026 for the 2023–24 release — we'll load it as soon as it's published.

If the recent trend holds…

At its recent rate of +0.2%/year, projecting from 2022's 870 students:

2023
872
2025
875
2027
879

An extrapolation of the recent trajectory, not a forecast of the school's plans; ignores one-off shocks.

Revenue upside

At tuition per student, the 9 students projected to be gained by 2027 represent ≈ $144,000/year in tuition upside.

Tuition is an editable estimate (PSS doesn't publish tuition) — set it to your school's figure.
