<p>I'm not really involved in school. I'm exceptionally good at math and science and average at everything else. I'm not that good of a writer.</p>

<p>You sound like a real badass i bet you’ll get into all those schools</p>

<p>well you’re definitely in at ut… (automatic admission)</p>

<p>anyone else?</p>

<p>bump. yes sir.</p>

<p>Just wondering, did you mean to put 4.1 as your weighted GPA? I don’t see how you could get a 5.1 on a 5.0 scale…</p>

<p>I would say UT Austin is a safety but everything else is a reach, due to your GPA.</p>

<p>well it’s like how you can get a 4.1 on a weighted pt scale. for my school it’s really on a 6 point scale once you add in weighting.. so it’s like a weighted 5 point scale.</p>

<p>bumping. of course.</p>

<p>okay… i see you doing your thing. Good luck</p>

<p>i think you have a good shot, especially because theres not a lot of hispanic females that wanna go into engineering. the work experience is impressive.</p>
