I am a male of mixed Latino-Indian descent, live in Texas, and McCombs will be my first choice this fall. Here are my stats:
Class Rank: 56/547, about top 10%
ACT: 34 C - 36 E, 34 M, 33 R, 33 S, 24 W
AP Scores: WHAP-4, Psych-5, Physics 1-4, Lang-5, APES-5
EC/Work Experience: National Honor Society, English Honor Society, Key Club, held an internship at a business journalism website for six months, volunteered at the local food bank, religious events, and tutored high schoolers for 100+ volunteer hours
Awards: Academic Excellence Award 2x, AP Scholar with Distinction
Teacher Recommendations: AP Environmental Science Teacher, AP English Language Teacher, potentially AP Physics Teacher who is a UT Austin alumni
I know my ECs aren’t extraordinary, but I do show a drastic upward trend in academic performance. Thanks to anyone who takes the time to help!
You’re class rank will hurt you. However, ACT is very good. Do you plan to retake to get a higher score especially in Writing? All McCombs applicants will go through holistic review. Spend time on your essays, recommendation letters, and expanded resume for a higher PI index.
