Chance me for UT Austin Plan II honors program?

Chance Me / Match Me!
1

Hello, I am a white female who resides in Texas and hopes to get into the Plan II honors program at UT Austin. If anyone could chance me or give me some advice on how I can better my stats, please let me know! I appreciate any and all input.

ACT: 32
GPA: 4.0/4.0 unweighted, 5.5/6.0 weighted
Class rank: 10/358 (top 3%)
Extracurriculars: Third-degree black belt in Tae Kwon Do, Girl Scout Gold Award recipient, participant in my high school’s theatre program and International Thespian Society, Model United Nations (president next year), and National Honor Society. I am also currently a biomedical intern at UT Southwestern medical center, I have started a charity to benefit homeless youth that has raised over $75,000, and I am a People 2 People student travel ambassador.

I plan to do some other things to raise my chances of admission as well, including running for president of NHS, getting a job next year, hopefully getting National Merit Commended (my PSAT was 1470) and most likely the National AP scholar award. I was also wondering whether or not it would benefit me to retake my ACT although I fall within the average ACT acceptance score. My coursework includes several AP courses; I took one freshman year, one sophomore year, 5 this year and 5 next year. PLEASE CHANCE ME! :slight_smile:

I am a junior in highschool, but by looking at your extracurricular activities you should get in. Did you really raise $75k with your own organization???

I got into Plan II with less impressive stats than yours (on paper, at least). Although, I also know people who have gotten rejected from Plan II with better stats than yours. So now don’t worry about clubs and leadership, focus on writing a kick a** Plan II essay, since that is what’s gonna make or break you.

I’ve heard people say that getting into Plan II is contingent upon writing a really good essay.

thank you so much!

Your extracurriculars are amazing! If anything, I would focus on getting a higher ACT score… I think the plan ii average is around a 1500 SAT and 33 ACT, so try to aim above that. I’m also interested in the plan ii program and I’m working on getting my ACT higher as well. Best of luck!
