OT: UT decreases auto-admission threshold (good for UH?)

Setting is based on the percentage of full-time undergraduates who live in institutionally-managed housing.[13] Two-year institutions are not classified by setting.[14]

  • Primarily nonresidential (NR)—fewer than 25 percent of degree-seeking undergraduates or fewer than 50 percent enrolled full-time live on campus.[13]
  • Primarily residential (R): (a)—at least 25 percent of degree-seeking undergraduates live on campus and (b) at least 50 percent but fewer than 80 percent attend full-time.
  • Highly residential (HR)—at least half of degree-seeking undergraduates live on campus and at least 80 percent attend full-time.[13]

Just like at A&M.

Ok that is great news to get the commuter tag officially off in a few yrs.
