Looking at Naviance, a lot of previous graduates from my school with my stats were accepted into UT Austin. My scores are around other people’s scores who were in the green area within Naviance. However, Naviance doesn’t show which major those people applied to. From what I know, most people in my school usually attend business, sciences, or engineering.

Here are some previous stats of people who applied from my school:
29 applied and 24 accepted in 2017.
48 applied and 35 accepted in 2016.
42 applied and 27 accepted in 2015.
Each year has about 100 to 120 students in the class total because we are a small school.

Chance me please, and I’ll chance you back.

From what I understand, having projects helps out a lot. A close friend of mine got waitlisted 2 years ago because of an HTML website. He had a 3.2 weighted GPA and a 30 ACT. 58% class rank! Then again, I think UT is kind of a wildcard if you don’t REALLY stand out and aren’t auto admit (I only know out of state info though). I think u have pretty good odds though since you have a giant resume of ECs.
