<p>You have a great chance with those ACT scores. If I were you, I would not submit the SAT scores. Write a truly engaging and REAL essay about yourself. You’ll be okay.</p>

<p>I went to McCombs for a year and transferred to Stern. Visit UT. It was actually a really tough choice for me. Many people don’t realize how great McCombs is. Austin is also a beautiful city. I loved it.</p>

<p>I transferred for banking opportunities.</p>

<p>Your AP score for Calc AB could help boost you up if you want to submit those SAT II scores. I think you should send them – Stern is looking at your strengths and how you manage them. And only retake if you think you’ll do better/prepare, but I wouldn’t personally.</p>

<p>i haven’t taken calc ab yet though. maybe i shouldn’t retake it. idk on all my practice tests before the actual subject test i was getting mid 700s…just a big tease!</p>

<p>its a huge reach for you because of your gpa. 3.5 doesnt cut it for stern. ur act might help a little, but ur ecs dont</p>
