UT Austin has an enrollment of 50K students. Many students apply every year from within Texas and are unable to gain admission to the flagship university because of the 10% rule in Texas, which requires public universities to automatically admit all students in the top 10% of their graduating class. UT now only takes I think the top 6% because they have so many student automatically admitted under that rule, and STILL have so many freshman who want to attend and can't get in because there's no space.
