<p>Had almost similar stats and got in but its really a crapshoot. If you happen to get your 2100+ on your next sitting then you have a great chance. Assuming you don’t reach your goal of 2100+ (but I really hope you reach your goal!) you will definitely get in if you show interest (show that pride on paper girlll!). This includes sending letters of recommendation and sending a letter of interest (mentioning about your business experience with Shell and BPA) and you have a great shot at McCombs. You probably know already but McCombs doesnt utilize the automatic admissions anymore (i.e: top 2% automatic admissions) and its a holistic review so judging by your extracurriculars and experience that will weigh heavily and bring that SAT grade up as high as possible! Good luck and don’t hesitate to message me if you any other questions about McCombs/UT/Life</p>

<p>You seem to be on track, I would be pretty surprised if you didn’t get in. The only thing I might suggest is getting your rank up just a little.</p>

<p>Anyways I had a 1940, top 1.5%.</p>

4

<p>I was top 8 percent with crap Sat scores. Did not get in. Had to internal transfer the next year. Did that with 3.7 GPA and no social life my freshmen year.</p>

5

<p>Had similar stats to you, top 6% 2200 SAT. Didnt get in, internal transfered after freshman year with a 3.9. Wasnt really that hard, still had a strong social life</p>
