<p>I'm a hispanic female live in Texas and I am NOT in top ten percent.</p>
<p>Schools Interested In:
Baylor
UT Austin-biggest worry is not in top ten percent-i'm in 16-18%
University of Chicago-not likely</p>
<p>Safe schools:
Texas State
UTSA(CAP if not accpeted to Austin first year)
Texas A&M
UofH</p>
<p>SAT</p>
<p>math-520(very low)
critical reading-590
writing-570</p>
<p>what are my chances of getting into either Baylor or UT-Austin ????</p>
<p>you need to give a lot more info; give EC’s, GPA (UW AND W), recs quality, essay quality, SAT II’s, etc.</p>
<p>sat 2??
will be a senior this upcoming year</p>
<p>EC’s:
student council- (grades) 9-11
Girls Interact- member/officer- 10&11/12
Medical Explorers-9&10 VP 11&12 President
BC CrimeStoppers-10-12
Varsity Tennis-9-12
Basketball-9
NTHS-10-12</p>
<p>as far as community service goes, I have been involved with community activities since freshman year. Tutor at the local library, help out after school with the junior high tennis practice, helped at a few beach clean-ups, etc.</p>
<p>GPA-(not too sure)-anywhere from a 4.2-4.5 and again top 16-18% of class(must admit had a bad freshman year)</p>
<p>I’ve taken pre-ap classes in 9th and 10th grade, 11th I took 3 Dual-Credit courses biology, pre-cal, and u.s history. also ap english(took ap test have not received score)</p>
<p>anything else?</p>
<p>baylor- possibly
UT- no
Chicago- definately no</p>
<p>Only thing keeping you out of UT Austin is not being in the top 10%.
But I’d have to agree, UChicago is very hard to get into, and your SAT scores are well below UChicago’s average.</p>
<p>Not sure about Baylor.</p>
<p>I’m new to this, so does “junior member” mean that the person is a JUNIOR in high school?</p>
<p>It’s based on post-count I assume.</p>
<p>It is based on post count. Someone becomes a junior member around the 30 post area I believe, then a member around 100+ posts.</p>

<p>Why are your SAT scores so low compared to your GPA? What are pre-AP classes and Dual credit classes?</p>
<p>I just graduated from high school and am going to attend UT in the fall, so I’ll give you my input based on the admissions I came across during the year.</p>
<p>Baylor: I’d say that despite your modest test scores, you have a good shot at getting in. I’d say this is a match school, and you should have no real worries about getting in.</p>
<p>UT: since you are not in the top 10%, even with the new law implemented, your chances of getting in are very slim even if you were to raise your SAT scores to above 650 each. I’d say this is a reach.</p>
<p>University of Chicago: you’re not going to get in. Don’t fret though, I visited and it’s nothing special, if your first choice is UT then believe me you would not find UChicago attractive in the least.</p>
<p>Texas State: I have yet to see someone get rejected here. Your safety if it must be.</p>
<p>UTSA: I’d say if UT is your ultimate goal, this should be your best bet as far as getting in (speaking realistically). I heard it’s actually a lot of fun, and it’s fairly easy to maintain a good enough GPA to get into UT.</p>
<p>A&M: I’d say you have a 50-50 chance of getting in. Although it’s not as picky about the top 10% law as UT, it’s still a competitive school, and you’re by no means guaranteed acceptance yet.</p>
<p>U of H: better than Texas State, but I’ve still yet to see someone get rejected from here. not a bad school though.</p>
<p>best of luck :)</p>
