<p>So I'm in TX but I'm not in the top 10% of my school. I'm about top 27%. I have a 3.91 gpa, with a 1900 SAT score.
I have a few ECs mostly concentrated in art; art club, art NHS, art club president, volunteered at museums, was a museum docent (guide) in a museum and a local gallery. i'm in regular NHS too and i've volunteered at this susan g. komen teen group over the past few years. i'll have a pretty good essay because i think i'm a pretty good writer. i know this doesnt matter but both my parents went to UT of A.</p>
<p>i'm really confused because some people say it's not too difficult to get in even with the 10% (or 7%?) automatic acceptance because a lot of people in the top 10/7% of schools go to like ivy leagues and stuff? i don't know.</p>
<p>others have told me that it's nearly impossible to get into UT without being in the top 10/7%. so i don't know. chance me?</p>
