*Family probs fresh/soph year trying to address in essay to compensate for poor grades:[</p>
<p>Holy crap! Plano?! You guys are geniuses AND have the world’s most beastly swim team. My coach was actually ****ed because they skipped over you guys for steroid testing hahahhaha :P</p>
<p>You have very good chances. UT is a match for you, but don’t be surprised if you get waitlisted or rejected. It’s all about the class rank unfortunately.</p>
<p>pixeL214, looks like your stats are similar to my Son’s. My understanding is there is no rush to apply if you are non-top 10 since they need to process the top-10 applications and assess available space before reviewing the others.</p>
<p>You have a good shot actually. The rank is very important, but there are always students not in the top 10% who get in, and usually they don’t have the extra curriculars or test scores that you do.</p>
<p>THERE IS NO WAY TO GUARANTEE YOUR ACCEPTANCE INTO ANY UNIVERSITY!!!
sorry, but it’s just the truth of the matter. </p>
<p>You do seem, however, to have excellent scores and grades, as well as extra curriculars, which will not hurt your chances.</p>
<p>true, you’re not in the top 10% of your class, however the new rule for the school is that they will accept a certain percent of in-state students who are not in the top 10% of their classes.</p>
<p>My roommate was not in the top 10% of her class, and she was still accepted even with the old rule, so you never know what will happen. </p>
<p>As long as you work hard, get your app in on time, have solid test scores and grades you have a CHANCE at getting in, but no guarantee. But good luck.</p>
<p>I understand that there is no guarantee of acceptance but i just wanted to know what people that attended the school though. thanks for the input.</p>
<p>Any things i could be doing before applying to boost my chances?</p>
<p>since your in state, UT is goin to reject you
the reason=class rank not fit for UT
the real reason=they can’t take everybody who goes to a high school in plano</p>
