<p>Most of the people here are very glass half full kind of people. I am...well...not. You have no ECs, and your test scores are pretty bad in comparison to your competition at UT. Your not top 10%, and even though your close to top 10,you won't stand a chance compared to people at other schools with scores in the 1900s+ with the same rank.</p>
<p>I'm going to agree with foxshox on this. There aren't that many spots left after all the top ten students are accepted while your rank isn't too far off, your test scores are. I don't know the test dates, but is it possible to retake it or try the ACT? I hate to be discouraging, but I think your scores need to be higher to compete.</p>
<p>Remember, though, if you want to go to UT, you can. If they don't offer you admission, they will offer you CAP. Just accept the CAP offer and then start out at UT Arlington, Brownsville, El Paso, Pan Am, Permian Basin, San Antonio, or Tyler, keep an eye on the CAP requirements (which include a 3.2 GPA and 30 credits), meet the CAP requirements, and you will be able to transfer in automatically right after your freshman year. I think that this is a very nice deal for an in-state student who wants to be a Longhorn but is kept out for freshman year because UT admissions have gotten to be so competitive.</p>
<p>1100 is the average for all admitted students from what I remember--that includes the 80-90% of your class who would be top ten kids.</p>
<p>No ECs really and absolutely no leadership listed. Unless your essays are perfect, your personal achievement index is subpar. Your academics are average at best, and you have to stand out if you aren't top ten.</p>
