The UT System

Students have a few different options if you want to apply to schools in the Lone Star State. The ApplyTexas portal allows you to submit to multiple schools with a single application. 

Many accept applications through ApplyTexas and other portals. Baylor, for example, also uses the Common App. Texas State also uses the Coalition App. And Rice goes for the trifecta, making its application available through all three platforms.
