<p>Sorry, I don’t do Chances, but I have a couple of comments about your school list.</p>

<p>As an OOS student for UDub and UWisc-M, you should expect high OOS tuition and relatively little FA other than loans. Unless UDub has changed, they only offer one very small merit scholarship to OOS students and it is just for the first couple of years. UWisc has the Chancellor’s and Powers-Knapp merit scholarships, but they are very competitive.</p>

<p>Do you mean pre AP Calc, as there is no AP PreCalc?</p>

<p>Pre ap pre calc is like an honors class there is no “official” AP for it</p>

<p>Are you top 7% If so, you’re in at UT.</p>

<p>You’ll get in at Baylor no problem. And at UT Austin, the most important thing is to be in the top 7% of the class at your school. If you are not in the top 7%, then you still have a good chance of acceptance after the school’s holistic review of your application.</p>

<p>I don’t really think that being hispanic has much impact on an application for UT Austin.</p>
