Academic Index (AI) Scoring?

Hey guys, I would really like to get into McCombs next year (I am currently a rising senior), and I had a quick question about the AI scoring.

So, here are my scores.

ACT - M: 35, W: 32.

SAT - M: 800, R: 710, W: 630.

I used the two formulas for Business (ACT/SAT) and included my high school rank (100-HSR) and got a 3.942 for the ACT formula, but a 3.28 for the SAT formula.

How could there be such a big difference? I was sure my SAT score would look MUCH better than my ACT score.

Thanks,

K7.

You say your ACT Writing is 32. Is that your ACT English/Writing composite? If you calculated the formulas you should see that UT uses your SAT/ACT math score and the writing for SAT and E/W composite for ACT. If 32 is the E/W composite then it is much higher than your SAT Writing.

@K20903 I thought that the McCombs School of Business primarily cared about the SAT Math and Reading, however. Thus, I weighed the 1510 a much higher score than a mere 35 and 32 in the math and english/writing of the ACT.

I ended up sending both of my scores.

Also in the AI formula you add 0.1 if you take an extra class in two of English, Science and Math. Good luck to you. I am trying for Cockrell.
