Chance Me for Liberal Arts

<p>Hi all, I'm a high school junior who has just received his first standardized test scores (Nov SAT). I'm going to apply for admission to the College of Liberal Arts as a history major being my first choice and then Undergraduate Studies as my second choice. As reflected below, my high school rank will not qualify me for automatic admission; therefore, I have to be admitted through the holistic admission process. Can you guys honestly tell me what you think my chances for admission are based on my current profile.</p>

<p>GPA: 3.7 (w)</p>

<p>Rank: Probably top 30%</p>

<p>SAT: 1970 as follows 720 Critical Reading; 580 Math; and 680 Writing (I plan on retaking SAT in Jan and then ACT for the first time in Feb. 2015)</p>

<p>SAT II World History Subject Test: 680 (I'll take the US History Subject Test in June 2015)</p>

<p>AP World History: 5/5 (I plan on taking the US History & English AP Exam)</p>

<p>Hook: African-American Male</p>

<p>EC: Track freshmen year; Basketball manager sophmore year; and Cross Country junior year (I expect to be varsity next year)</p>

<p>Part-Time Employment: Since June 2014, I have had a part-time job working 10-12 hours a week at a fast-food establishment.</p>

<p>Thanks in advance for any advice or input that I receive from you guys. FYI, if I cant get into UT, I'm looking at out of state admission to Ohio State, LSU, University of Alabama, University of Arizona, Arizona State University and Minnesota.</p>

<p>Oops, my low math subscore is reflected in the post above, my aggregate SAT score is 1970 as follows: 720 Critical Reading; 580 Math; and 670 Writing.</p>

<p>Your SAT score is solid. Note that the last SAT UT will take is the December one. I think you have a solid chance to get into LA </p>
