<p>or somewhat close?
last practice sat i took i got a 2090, taking it in june, predicting atleast 2000, ranked in top 6% of class, gpa around 4.7-4.8 with most rigorous class work, will have taken over 11 ap classes, interested in pre-med shadowing doctor, class work shows that i am interested.
For those of you that have any clue, what do you think my chances are of getting $$ from UTD?
THanks!
Plus idk what my gpa is on a 4.0 scale, anyone have an idea how to convert? is it just a ratio or is it more complicated?</p>
<p>If you have all As, your unweighted GPA is 4.0/4.0. If you have any Bs etc, the way to figure it out is to put down 4 for all As, 3 for all Bs, 2 for all Cs etc and add them up. Divide it by number of classes (usually each semester is one class).</p>
<p>If you are in Texas and have 4.8 weighted GPA, you are probably doing very well rank wise. If you are in the top 5% or so, it is quite possible that you will get a fullride altough I am not sure who exactly gets them other than those who would be at a mimimum eligible for UT Austin and have great scores.</p>
<p>yeah i am admitted to ut austin due to me being in teh top 10%… but utd is closer to home so im hoping i can get tuiton paid for… i am in the top 6% rank 25-30 out of 507</p>
<p>UT Austin this year will be top 9% and UTD has a top 15% automatic admission or also SAT 1800 auto admission. Your application is also your scholarship application and so apply early as soon as the season opens and see what happens. Lot of departments in UT Austin also give you tuition scholarships although with budget problems in Texas, we cant be too certain who will be giving what any more. If you are close to UTD, you should go to one of their saturday morning sessions and ask them what scholarships you may be able to get. Did you pass all your APs? If so that might help reduce the number of classes you need to take.</p>
<p>Also consider that many people get admitted to UT Austin, but not into the particular school of their choice (Business, Engineering etc.). As someone has said in another thread, at UT Austin you will be jumping through the hoops that currently exist. At UT-Dallas, a student with your credentials can write your own ticket.</p>
<p>I took a 5 this year so we will see in july. Yeah I’m looking into utd more… Someone told me that you just need a 1370 or something composite sat score to be eligible for their scholarships? Is this true?</p>
<p>I dont know the eligibility requirements for scholarships. I only know they advertise that if you get 1200 on Math and reading or 1800 on the three subjects, you can have an automated admission.</p>
<p>I don’t know if they are interested in me or if this is one of those mails they send to everyone, but I got a letter from the utd urging me to apply because I will be eligible for scholarships, idk what to make out of it.</p>
<p>Have u guys heard of the McDermott schloarship? I heard it’s really competitive</p>
<p>On their website, <a href=“http://www.oue.utdallas.edu/aes[/url]”>www.oue.utdallas.edu/aes</a>
It’s says what sat scores are average for their scholarships. Anyone known if these scores include writing?</p>
<p>you will be find for the aes scholarship. </p>
<p>as for mcdermott, im not sure if you are competitive enough for it (really depends on your extracurriculars and if you can get your test score higher).</p>
<p>Yeah it says that to be considered, you need an sat score in atleast the 97% which is 2100, hopefully I can get the highest aes</p>
<p>Remember, the Mcdermott requires a separate application with an earlier deadline.</p>
<p>mcDermott is giving you more money than your tuition, room and board and so it is lot more selective. That does nt mean they dont have other scholarships that waive tuition, give you some pocketmoney etc which can come automatically with just your application.</p>
<p>Those scores are for reading and math only. My daughter’s score was 10 points under what they have listed as the average SAT score for the Academic Distinction scholarship award she received.</p>
