Anyone NOT in top 10% get into UT Austin?

<p>i got into a&m and got a pretty nice scholarship from baylor as well. </p>

<p>i had a 2050 sat (1380 m and cr)
ranked 90/495 (18%)
not very many EC’s but have good job experience
wrote a and b essays… thought i did well on them
letter of recommendation but i dont think that matters much</p>

<p>has there been many instaters get in before today, or were most of the early admits from out of state?</p>

<p>CR: 580
Math: 670
W: 730
(Total: 1980)</p>

<p>Top 18% (118/637), GPA (weighted): 4.083
(wrote all 3 essays too)</p>

<p>Extracurriculars: NHS, Mu Alpha Theta, Best Buddies, Prom Committee, Varsity Track (9th), Musical Theatre (9th), Band (9th), Vocal Ensemble (9th), Figure Skating (non-competitive) (9th, 10th) some service organizations run by the school, Athletic trainer (10th), and will have 200+ service hours by graduation.</p>

<p>I’m at a disadvantage with the GPA/class rank because i had to transfer high schools in my junior year, and my old school didn’t offer AP classes. I’m also a minority (Asian), if that helps. Also got a couple of letters of rec.</p>

<p>First choice is Biochemistry, and second choice is Undeclared in the College of Natural Sciences.</p>

<p>Already got accepted into A&M :D</p>

<p>Yeah its amazing to me how far behind UT admissions is in comparison to the other schools!!</p>

<p>wait doesnt ut admissions office close at 5?</p>

<p>that’s what i thought too…</p>

<p>oh great
no wonder my counselor said to check at around 5…that’s probably the last time they update application statuses.</p>

<p>Ok good so it looks like there are still plenty of quality students who havent heard yet. Mine are

GPA: Weighted 4.1 ish (my school uses a defferent gpa scale) Unweighted: 3.6 ish

<p>call and find out.</p>

<p>we all seem pretty similar in stats. ah this is killing me!</p>

<p>@pwnshop just tried calling them. they are closed for the day.</p>

<p>hoo-rah.</p>

<p>do they update on the weekends?</p>

<p>maybe they will work overtime to get them out.</p>

<p>they said they would send out some decisions today right? so then they cant be done right, cuz it sounds like nobody heard back yet.</p>

<p>They could have lied to us!</p>

<p>mst129 could be right, because i know of people who have been sending them emails abt the date when they would release decisions…and they keep changing their replies. some got replies that said today, and some said this weekend or early next week. so it’s really hard to tell when exactly decisions are gonna be released. <em>tears hair in frustration</em></p>

<p>i got an email that said we’d get decisions today. Today, my foot.</p>

<p>yea maybe they would do overtime, only time will tell</p>

<p>hopefully, pierrechn. i’m gonna restrain myself and only check it every couple of hours or so.
or maybe it takes time for the decisions to be processed, so it’ll show up on the page anywhere from a few minutes to a few hours after the decisions have been posted… that’s a rumor I’ve heard :/</p>

<p>yea im pretty sure their is somewhat of a delay, i doubt 20000 decisions will be posted at one time but im pretty sure its way more that 20k</p>
