<p>I just want to make not that I am planning on going to University of Texas at Austin in the Fall because I don't think I meet the requirements to get into these schools. I am planning on transferring to these schools after my sophomore year at UT and hopefully I can shape up my life enough to get in. I just wanted to get some advice as to how I should go about my Senior year and my two upcoming years at UT in order to have a legitimate chance to transfer to these schools. Thank You!! :D</p>

<p>P.S. should I retake my SAT to try to get a better score, will it help my transfer application, is it worth trying to take it again.</p>
