[yoitsafi]

<p>In-state, Public School
Rising senior
Rank: 7.4%
GPA: 3.87 UW and 3.92 W
ACT: 28
Ecs: NHS, video production, key club, UIL spelling and vocab.
Jobs: lifeguard last summer
Volunteering: I don't know the exact number but I know I have quite a lot. Probably over 300 hours
AP classes: AP Human Geo, AP World History, AP English III, AP English IV (next year)
I didn't do well on the first two AP tests but got a 4 on the third.
Taken all Pre-ap courses all of high school
Have taken 5 dual credit courses and got A's in all</p>

<p>Planning on applying to the College of Liberal Arts as an English Major</p>

<p>I'm taking the ACT again in September to get above a 30 because I am just outside the auto admit range.. will that increase my chances? Any advice is appreciated!</p>

<p>If at all possible break the 7% mark then as you know, you are an auto-admit. If you can then get the HS councilor to send a report then to show you are top 7%. Otherwise your ACT needs to go up to have a better chance. UT likes class rank and test scores. </p>

<p>At least you aren’t picking business or engineering so that helps too. For an English major you have a chance.</p>

<p>Thanks! Also, what ACT score do you think would make it more likely for non-auto admits to get in? I’ve heard non-autos usually have to have a 33 and killer essays to be considered competitive…</p>
