<p>Could I get at least Summer Program? Maybe even regular admit?</p>

<p>Be realistic if you don't think my chances are good. I'd rather know now, than later. Do you know anyone else who have had high ECs but low GPA that got into UT?</p>

<p>spoilme, 2 years ago, my oldest s was in your boat. He was not top 10%, but he had other things going for him. He eventually got in, but did not hear what college he got in until really late. Are you instate?</p>

[spoilme]

<p>Yeah, I'm a Texas resident.</p>

<p>Do y'all think that being a Regional Finalist at Siemens Westinghouse for 05 and 06 will be enough for UT to look past a low GPA?</p>

<p>It very well might, but you may not hear until late in the game. Good luck!</p>
