Hello! I’m a current junior who is planning on graduating with an IB diploma. I started the year with hopes of getting accepted to a top college like Stanford, UChicago, or WashU, but this year has exhausted me and I just want to get into UT at this point. If possible I would like opinions on my chances of getting into UT Liberal Arts (anthropology/archaeology) with my current stats and intended major, and any school recommendations based upon my stats would be welcome too!
GPA: 4.3
Class Rank: This is my first year at my school and they have yet to give me my rank. Based upon asking others with a similar GPA to my own, it can be assumed that I’m in the top 10%

Extracurriculars: Weekly volunteering at the SPCA, Student Council, Gay-Straight Alliance, NHS, NAHS, and trumpet in my school’s top jazz band during freshman and sophomore year.
I also write poetry, attempt to write songs, play multiple instruments, and paint in my free time. I don’t think these count as extracurriculars but I do think that they have a large impact upon my character.

- Two artworks with a rating of four (top rating) in Visual Arts Scholastic Competition. One piece advanced to the state level and will receive further judging.
