<p>Why are you taking the SATs again? UT will not look at your high school stats for admissions. UT will let you choose two majors when you apply. For the first major, choose McCombs since that’s really what you want. Then for the second, choose math (Liberals Arts/Natural Sciences I think). If you get rejected from McCombs, Liberal Arts and Natural Sciences are the two easiest colleges to get in at UT. I’m positive you should get at least get in (Illinois is a great school, wondering why you’re transferring?), and maybe even McCombs if you keep up the GPA.</p>
