Here are my stats:
Local Texas resident, top 5% of my class
1940 on my SAT (I know this is really low…)
3.9 Unweighted GPA
Taken 10 AP Classes
Taken 5 PAP Classes
Varsity Tennis, NHS, NTHS, DECA, BPA, STUCO
An Independent study class where I’m under the mentorship of a business professional (He went to UT BHP so I know he can write a good rec letter)
Over 150 volunteer hours
Could someone please tell me how UT goes through their application process? Also, I’m Indian, can you tell me if ethnicity is a factor that I have to worry about?
The rec letter will help you a lot. I’m a Junior but I did a program at UT this past summer and I’m gonna try to get a letter of rec from one of the professors. GPA is great, SAT you should try to improve (but it’s probably too late…). Your ECS look good, have you gotten any awards though? It doesn’t matter that much, but if you did well in DECA that would probably help you a lot. I would say you have a decent chance, but, don’t get your hopes up that much because McCombs is really hard to get into.
