<p>Hi everyone. I'm Dan, Chinese American male from an urban texas city.
I'm only a junior right now and although I have a few reach schools, I'd like to make sure I'm even capable of making it into my safety: UT Austin. I plan on applying to their Engineering College (biomedeng) as primary, and college of Nat Sci as back up. Do I have a chance?</p>
<p>GPA: 3.92 Weighted (I really screwed up my fresh and soph but I'm pulling myself up drastically this year)</p>
<p>Class Rank: 90ish/800? (just an estimate. important to note that I'm NOT in 10%)</p>
<p>SAT I: Old: 1450 (Math: 740 Verbal: 710)<br>
New: (will take in June. It must be higher than a 2100, so assume that as a worst case scenario)</p>
<p>SAT II's: Plan on taking Math IIC, Bio, Physics (Assume 700 or better on all)</p>
<p>AP Tests: World History (3), [these can be strongly assumed: Calculus AB (5), Statistics (4), English Language (4 or 5)]</p>
<p>AP Classes </p>
<p>10th: World History
11th: Statistics, Calculus AB, Chemistry, English GT
12th: Physics, Calculus BC, Biology, English GT, Latin Vergil, European History, U.S. Government, Macroeconomics, Psychology</p>
<p>all my other classes for these years have been pre-ap if possible (took tennis and orchestra though fresh & soph year)</p>

<p>Sorry alot of the stuff says "assume this, assume that". as a junior, there's still things I haven't done yet but you can take my assumptions to be strongly accurate, else I wouldn't make them. </p>
<p>I've heard UT's BME program is pretty competitive.....I'd REALLY like to make it in initially without having to go to nat sci then transferring...but meh. I highly appreciate any opinion's on my chances.</p>
