    What the numbers say about UT Rio Grande Valley

    • The reported middle 50% spans 210 points, from 880 to 1090. A planning score near or above 1130 gives you a target above that historical range, not an admission guarantee.
    • The Scorecard snapshot reports a 94% acceptance rate. That rate describes a past applicant pool and should not be read as your personal admission probability.
    • Reported outcomes include a 51% completion rate and $49,620 in median earnings 10 years after entry. Compare those figures with cost and program fit, not in isolation.
