<p>So do you guys think it's possible with and without my hypothetical test scores??

<p>even if you were instate, its really hard to get into ut austin. my friend had similar scores but was 2 shy of top 10% and got rejected. good luck</p>

3

<p>Bumpy any more opinions?</p>

<p>Thxs</p>

<p>anybody?..</p>

<p>Chancing anyone for UT-Austin who is not in-state top 10% is very difficult. I think with your hypothetical scores, you will be borderline, but without your hypothetical scores, it's a reach...</p>

<p>that being said, I would definetely encourage you to apply. What's the worst that can happen?</p>

6

<p>i think it depends on which major you are applying for..</p>

<p>I have decent academic stats (95% Honors classes, 6 APs, 3.8 GPA, 95-96 numerical avg, etc etc. 1980 SAT..Top academic honors awards and what not)</p>

<p>But I've gotten lots of "Matches" and "Very Slight Reaches" for UT-Austin b/c my ECs show a crystal clear passion for business and advertising, and lots of community service.</p>

<p>I think for the most part, it comes down to the fact that you can show a clear interest in the subject matter you want to pursue...</p>

<p>I think you're a match/slight reach, given your essays are good and interests are shown thoroughly</p>

<p>best of luck!</p>

<p>And don't let any of these pessimestic *****ers let you down...i've gotten hundreds of 'you're not gonna get in anywhere" </p>

<p>but...the only way you can't get in is if you don't apply, right?</p>

<p>Thxs everybody for the info and the encouragement :P Very helpful</p>
