Chance Me / Match Me!

<p>I am from a very prestigous unraking private boarding school in the northeast
I am Black and a Resident of Texas</p>

<p>Freshmen Year (At Independent School in Middle East- I am an American Citizen but have lived overseas for all my life)
3.6 Unweighted GPA. No Honors Classes Available at School</p>

<p>Sophmore Year (First Year at a Considerably Harder Boarding School)
3.0 Unweighted (Terrible I know, but taking 3 classes that juniors take)</p>

<p>Junior Year
3.5 </p>

<p>I dont have any AP courses at this time, because enrollment in AP's is very limited at my school. There are only 10 possible AP classes to take, however senior year I will be taking 2 AP's. </p>

<p>ACT Score: 27 expected to bring up to atleast a 29, hopefully a 30.</p>

<p>I do a lot of community service for my community service club, I sponser the blood drive, work in soup kitchens, run the can drive. I also have taught kids how to read. </p>

<p>I have played lacrosse for 10 years of my life.
Clubs: Amnesty, Habitat for Humanity, Debate Club, Student Mentor. Minority Awarness Club, Community Service Club. </p>

<p>There have been numerous threads about UT Austin's difficulty to get into, however none of them have really adressed my issues. How will UT view me as a student from Private School? Will coming from an unranking school help me or hurt me?</p>

<p>what boarding school do you go out of curiousity? I would think your chances are pretty good considering UT probably gets very few apps from kids at elite NE boarding schools.</p>

3

<p>Sorry Meat,
Midwest not Northeast, oversight.</p>

4

<p>well, all the same, I would think you have a very good shot, however, I don't know anything about the ACT, have you thought about taking the SAT?</p>

5

<p>Take The Sat's in October, failed a practice test, but i wasnt really focused. Hopefully i will get atleast a 1900.</p>

<p>bump!!!!!!!!!!</p>

<p>So Nobody knows? Would coming from boarding school and living in the mid. east most of my life be considered as my two hooks?</p>

8

<p>Does anywhere know my chances of being accepted to USC, Rice, or Emory?</p>
