Helping Students Navigate the Texas College Admissions Process
Texas roots and expertise, but not just Texas admissions counselors
Decision Drop works with families across the United States and around the world, and both of our counselors bring genuine, firsthand Texas admissions expertise, not just familiarity from the outside. Lisa spent 12 years working directly inside the admissions offices at UT Austin and Texas A&M, reading and evaluating applications. Josh built his counseling career at prestigious Houston-area high schools, including The Kinkaid School and Awty International School, giving him deep, on-the-ground knowledge of how Texas students compete for admission. If your student is weighing in-state options alongside schools nationwide, that combined insider perspective becomes one more advantage layered onto our full, two-counselor approach.
What Texas Families Get with Decision Drop
-
An insider's view of UT Austin and Texas A&M admissions-
Lisa spent a combined 12 years reviewing applications inside both admissions offices- experience few consultants outside the state, or inside it, can match.
-
A Houston-rooted counselor who knows the Texas educational landscape-
Josh counseled students at top Houston-area high schools, including an international IB program, after graduating from WashU in St. Louis.
-
A team that understands how Texas-specific rules actually work in practice
- UT Austin's Automatic Admission policy, Texas A&M's process, and how both schools' offices read a file, not just what's published online.
-
The same comprehensive, two-counselor support every Decision Drop client receives-
whether your student is applying only in-state or casting a wider net.
-
Flexibility to apply broadly-
Texas privates, out-of-state publics, Ivy League and other highly selective schools, or international universities — Texas is often a baseline, not the whole list.
-
Virtual meetings
that work around Texas time zones, with in-person options in select areas.
