To pursue a bachelor's degree at Texas Tech University, applicants should consider the following eight admission points:

High School Diploma or Equivalent: Completion of a recognized secondary education program is mandatory.

Academic Transcripts: Submission of official high school transcripts detailing coursework and grades is required.

Class Rank and Standardized Test Scores: Texas Tech offers assured admission based on class rank and corresponding SAT/ACT scores. For example, students in the top 10% of their class are assured admission without minimum test scores, while those in the first quarter (excluding the top 10%) need a minimum ACT score of 24 or SAT score of 1180.

Holistic Review: Applicants who do not meet assured admission criteria undergo a holistic review process, considering factors such as academic rigor, extracurricular activities, leadership experiences, community service, socioeconomic background, and unique personal circumstances.

Application Form: Completion and submission of the ApplyTexas or Common Application form is necessary.

Application Fee: A non-refundable application fee of $75 is required, with fee waivers available for eligible students.

Optional Supporting Materials: While not mandatory, applicants are encouraged to submit essays and up to three letters of recommendation to provide additional insights into their qualifications and experiences.

Specific Program Requirements: Certain colleges or departments, such as the College of Engineering or the Rawls College of Business, may have additional admission requirements or higher standards. Applicants should review the specific criteria for their intended major to ensure compliance.
