<p>I have been getting really good scores for the past 3 years, all A's but this junior year of my high school. I messed up a little bit. I have an avg of 70% Though I have not finished my final exams yet. But I guess Universities will evaluate my last 2 exams of junior year. The exams I had, Total marks for each subject was 40 but my final exam has 100 marks for each suject. I have Phy, Chem, Eng, Comp, Maths as my subjects.</p>

<p>If i get a good score on SAT and SAT subject tests Do i stand a chance?</p>

<p>bump! hey please help my guys</p>

3

<p>r u an international student? if u r, how does ur grading sys work because 70is not a good grade in America, but our grading sys could b different.</p>

4

<p>yeah I am an International student. Well 70 here means grade around B its not C. Well I have a few exams ahead I can still improve my score. I will have given 2 my senior yr exams too by then. so any hope?</p>

5

<p>the top 10% rule doesn't apply to nonresidents of texas so it all depends on ur SATs. ur ec's look pretty good. i've heard that its hard 4 internationals to get into UT, but if ur grades r good, keep ur hopes up.</p>

<p>so you mean that mainly SAT matters for me?</p>
