<p>class rank?</p>

<p>May want to increase that SAT score.</p>

<p>No, sorry.</p>

<p>what should i do to get in/.</p>

<p>Well, to be honest, you probably can't. You probably won't get in the score range to negate the fact that your out of state and don't have the best GPA(what is your class rank?). You probably won't get into the school with those stats(IE I know people in state with better than didn't get in to the school at all).</p>

<p>well.. u got in with a score that's not that much better than mine... and im in top 15%</p>

<p>People who don't get into the Business School right away can transfer into it. Freshmen who apply to the Business School and are accepted to UT but not to the Business School are put (starting in fall 2009) in the School of Undergraduate Studies. Your high school's guidance counselor should have material from UT specifically regarding the UT admission rate for out of state students and the SAT range for admitted out of state students; this could help you figure out your odds of admission to UT.</p>

<p>I was top 13% instate, and I also had a 32 on the ACT which is like a 2100. Not to mention I applied to the school of engineering and not the business school. I think you severely underestimate how much harder it is to get into the business school than any other school at UT. There are very few spots left for out of state people, and you have to be much better than the instate to get in. Considering the majority of the instate people(who do not automatically get in by being in the top 4%) are in the top 10% of their classes and have above 2050 that get into the business school, it probably won't won't happen for you.</p>

<p>sorry foxshox. u r wrong. this is the freshman profiel from the UT website.
SAT/ACT</a> Scores | Why UT? | Be a Longhorn</p>

<p>business does not require the highest sat scores according to the official school website. business is actually about the same as engineering shool</p>

<p>Keep arguing, it won't make your chances any better. The reason why the average SAT/ACT score is so low is because they include both students automatically admitted and not. So that means I could have a 1000/1600, but if I was in the top 1% of my class I would still get in and be counted in the average. Notice the average SAT score for out of state for the entire college is 1300, and Business is only going to be much higher.</p>

<p>gogobet, foxshox may be blunt, but what he says is the truth - the business school admissions starts at (instate class rank) 1% and goes on until they fill 75% of the class, then they start looking "holistically" which includes out of state people. My son's year, they got down to around 3%. His roommate was from out of state, he got in, but he was a valedictorian, NMF. It is hard to get in as a freshman, but as midwest mom says, people can transfer in after their freshman year. My son's best friend from highschool just did that with at 3.7 gpa in the college of liberal arts.</p>

<p>The rank thing really skews the numbers as SAT/ACT scores do not matter until after they have filled 75% of the incoming class.</p>

<p>All this information can be found on the business school website, but I'm too lazy to dig it up for you.</p>

<p>I dug it up. Here it is.

Admission decisions for the McCombs School of Business are made by the Office of Admissions. We do not, at any point, see applications. There is no separate application for the McCombs School of Business, except for the Business Honors Program. </p>

<p>If interested in being considered for the McCombs School of Business, simply indicate Unspecified Business as your first-choice major on the ApplyTexas application. You should also give careful consideration to the second college or major that you list. If admissible, students will enter McCombs as unspecified business students. After 30 hours and pre-requisite courses, students can declare a major. </p>

<p>The top 10% law guarantees admission to the University. It does not, however, guarantee admission into the McCombs School of Business. </p>

<p>A maximum of 75% of the class (approximately 900 students) is admitted according to rank. The Office of Admission begins with those students ranked in the top 1%, followed by top 2%, and so on until 75% of the class is filled. </p>

<p>The remaining 25% of our spots (approximately 300 students) are admitted through a competitive process. Students from non-ranking high schools, foreign, out of state, non-top 10%, and those who are not admitted into the first 75% compete for the remaining spots. Rank (if students have one), essays, honors/awards, leadership activities, community service, test scores, and special circumstances are all considered in determining admission for the remaining 25%.

<p>You are awesome! I knew you would find it!! :)</p>

<p>MidwestMom:</p>

<p>Based on your past experience and knowledge about UT (Mccombs) admissions process can you let me know whether UT pools all OSS/non-ranked in-state students and makes decisions for those 300 Mccombs slots right towards end of the game (around March/April) or wheteher they do it on a rolling basis? I am an early consideration business honors applicant from a non-ranking school in texas, have been "guaranteed admission as a leading applicant" but UT has not provided any info on the major yet. Any CC thread data/info on whether OSS/non-ranked students were notified about early admission decisions at Mccombs during the past few years? Any info will be much appreciated.</p>
