Admissions Overview

Texas Tech University is less selective with a 67% acceptance rate. This means most qualified applicants get admitted, but you still need solid academic credentials. The middle 50% of admitted students score between 1090-1280 on the SAT or around 26 on the ACT. With 92% of students coming from Texas, in-state applicants have a clear advantage in the admissions process. The university seeks students who can handle rigorous coursework in engineering, agriculture, and other technical fields. Red Raiders tend to be hardworking Texans who value hands-on learning and want to be part of a close-knit campus community that takes pride in both academics and Big 12 athletics.
