<p>Thanks!</p>
<p>Your stats are great but what about EC’s? Because you will go under holistic review, those will be important as well as your essays. What major/school are you shooting for? Are the volunteer hours 400 for your high school career? That works out to 2 hours a week and the adcoms are going to want to know what you are doing with the rest of your time. (and don’t say studying because their are plenty of kids with similar stats who’s EC take up 20 plus hours a week.</p>
<p>i’d say almost certainly in for business, cns, or eng</p>
<p>you are in for sure at any school you want</p>
<p>^Why would you post something like that? It’s not true.</p>
<p>While there are no guarantees, I can’t see why they would reject him.</p>
<p>OP is 1 percent (probably by a difference of ~.001 GPA points) out of being an auto-admit with a 34, 2190, 800 math SAT, 800 math SAT II, 36 math ACT, and 800 physics SAT II. So not only does he have the best math stats one can get, but UT has adopted a more holistic view for this applicant class specifically to help people like him who are barely outside the top 8% but clearly are more intelligent than 95% of the auto-admits.</p>
<p>I cannot see any reason why he would not get into engineering. How could they reject someone who has been completely perfect in every measurement he has taken that pertains to engineering skills?</p>
<p>Maybe he won’t get into business but they would be crazy not to let him in to CNS or cockrell</p>
