<p>3.7 uw is not a low what soo ever. You should get into Carnegie Mellon(Expensive as ****), UMitch , Purdue , UCSD .&. UCLA and USC are reach schools . Your chances of getting into UTAustin is 95% unlikely . Just because your not top 8% and ut austin only takes 75% of its incoming applicants from texas . you would have to be really lucky to get into UT. BUT yea you have a pretty good uw gpa</p>
