Chance me for the University of Texas at Austin

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

<p>Hey - getting my college list in order, I'm wondering on my chances of getting into the University of Texas at Austin. I'm applying to the McCombs School of Business as my first choice, and the Cockrell School of Engg for my second choice. </p>

<p>PROFILE:
In-State
Male
Asian
Mid-Upper Income Level
Dual Credit Based School - school based in a University where students take college classes that count towards both high school graduation and approximately 75 college credit hours.</p>

<p>STATS:
Rank: None (due to it being based in a Uni, school does not rank) - hurts for UT Austin which admits on rank.
GPA: 4.0 Freshman, 4.0 Sophomore, 3.9 Junior - Hurts because it's a downward trend.
SAT: 2340 (740 M, 800 CR, 800 WR) - probably my only strong stat.
SAT II's (Aren't required): 800 MCII, 750 Literature, 750 Chemistry</p>

<p>Senior Course Load: (Slashes indicate change in semester)
Physics Mechanics/Physics E&M (Calculus based)
American History I and II
World Literature I and II
Calculus II/Calculus III (Multi-Variable Cal)
Finance/Introduction to Financial Derivatives/Options
International Trade/ Government </p>

<p>ECs/Awards: Mostly Business/Science Focused
FBLA - member 4 years. Regional, State, and National places in Economics - other state and regional awards in Finance/Banking. President senior year.
National Economics Challenge - 1st Place State, National Semi-Finals Qualifier. President of Economics Society senior year - provides tutoring for college students struggling in basic microeconomics/macroeconomics.
JETS - Junior Engineering Technical Society. State awards in Science Olympiad and DOE Science Bowl. Community Service Coordinator of organization - 100+ community service hours all focused on performing science demonstrations/science tutoring to kids in low income areas in the city around my school/uni.
Summer Activities: Computational Chemistry based research (advanced ab initio methods for the prediction of chemical properties using supercomputers)</p>

<p>My main issue is that UT Austin typically admits based on rank. The University is required to admit anyone who graduates from the top 8% of their class to the Uni. That leaves approximately 25% of the seats here for non ranking students. What are my chances of getting into one of those seats? Thanks.</p>

<p>You definitely have a good shot. Even though your school doesn’t rank, you’re still in-state which still gives you an advantage. It’s probably a high match.</p>

<p>First of All, 4.0 to 3.9 is NOT a downward trend. Second, 2340 is a MONSTER SAT score.
If anything, u should set your sights higher (eg Rice, or maybe Ivy League), because Ut-austin is a lock IMO</p>

<p>I’m a freshman at Washington and Lee with a GPA of 3.8…What are my chances of transferring to the McCombs school of business?</p>

<p>Future: I would not consider Rice “higher than UT”. Especially not if he wants to major in business. Also considering many Ivies don’t have b-schools either, UT is a better choice than most Ivies…</p>
