    What the numbers say about UT Arlington

    • The reported middle 50% spans 230 points, from 1010 to 1240. A planning score near or above 1280 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
    • The reported section midpoints are 560 Reading and Writing and 560 Math. Use the lower section as the first place to look for recoverable points in your own score split.
    • The Scorecard snapshot reports a 80% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
    • Reported outcomes include a 54% completion rate and $63,199 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
