Editor's notes

• Your class rank and course plan carry this file. The CDS rates rigor and rank very important and the essay not considered, and top-half Texas public school students on the right program are admitted automatically.
• Apply early in the fall even though admission runs to August. Scholarship early consideration is Dec. 1, and a test score sent from College Board or ACT helps with scholarships and TSI.
