<p>What are my chances of getting into the University of Texas for the December 1, 2010 Regular admission deadline?</p>

<p>I am from out of state.</p>

<p>Our school does not do GPA on the 4.0 scale but the 100. I have an 89.0057 unweighted and 91.057 weighted. I have taken 8 honors courses and am completing 3 AP's this year. </p>

<p>I have a 29 composite ACT (33 English, 25 Math, 31 Reading, 28 Science, 10/12 on the writing)</p>

<p>I have a lot of Extracurriculars (NHS, Cross Country, Tennis, Video producer for school, Homecoming, Good amount of volunteer hours, Student Government, freshman mentor leader)</p>

<p>I believe on the 4.0 scale I have a 3.5 unweighted and about a 3.8 weighted.</p>

<p>Right now my unweighted GPA for my first semester senior year is a 90.6 and weighted its roughly a 94 or 95. (Does Texas take into account first semester senior grades, because I have 3 AP's and an honors and am kicking butt so far!)</p>

<p>What are my chances of getting into Texas do you think?</p>

<p>Since you’re from out of state your chances are good.</p>

<p>Really??? I thought it was harder to get in from out of state</p>

<p>Lucky for us UT placed into effect their “exemption from the Texas House 10% bill.” They still must admit automatically those who fall within 8% (or 10% they will lower it eventually) but they must only do so for 75% of the incoming class; That 25% is left for instate, international, and the out of states. That’s a much more comforting number then around 10% for the remaining.</p>

<p>Oh wow really? This is news to me. So it went from being 10 % out of state to 25 %??? So do I have a good chance??</p>
