UT Austin Yield Rate

Of the 19,417 students admitted to the Class of 2028, 9,210 enrolled, a yield rate of 47.4%.[1] Yield is what the university is really managing when it sets an admit rate, so it moves the acceptance rate more than application volume does.

Class	Admitted	Enrolled	Yield
2028	19,417	9,210	47.4%
2027	19,253	9,385	48.7%

What to Expect for the Class of 2030

Over the three most recent official classes (2026–2028) the acceptance rate at UT Austin has sat between 26.6%–31.4%.

That band is what the school has actually done recently, not a prediction. A single cycle can break it: a change to testing policy, a new direct-admission program, or a jump in application volume moves the rate more than any trend would.
