<p>Chances at UT? (please help!) </p>

<hr>

<p>Hi there guys. I'm in a struggle at the moment because my parents are thinking of either moving me from Kansas to Texas or to a private school in a bigger city in Kansas because I live in a small town which doesn't really have classes here that challenge me and only 2 AP classes. So here are some of my stats and class schedules.</p>

<p>Class Rank: 1/129 - There are about 10 of us at rank one right now.
GPA: UW: 4.0 W: 4.125
School year: Sophomore
SAT score: N/A
PSAT score: 1490 i think...it was something close to 1500
ACT score: 26 (expecting 30+ junior year)</p>

<p>Class Schedule:</p>

<p>Freshman Year:
English 9
Physical Science
Algebra I
P.E. & Health
Spanish I
Geography
Fundamentles of Art
Word Processing</p>

<p>Sophomore Year:
Honors Algebra II
Spanish II
Geometry
Honors English 10
Library Aide
Biology
World History</p>

<p>Ok so here is what is going to happen now. Now i get to make the decesion between Plano West High/Coppell High or the private school in Wichita (Collegiate).</p>

<p>Junior Year: (this is what i expect to take)
Pre Calc
AP Lit. I
Chemistry
AP US History
Spanish III
AP Computer or AP Economics
Debate</p>

<p>Senior Year: (this is what i expect to take)
AP Calc AB
AP Lit. II
AP Government

Work at dad's motel 20-30 hours a week (for free)</p>

<p>I know I have more ec's but can't think of them at the moment.</p>

<p>Total Hours: >100</p>

<p>It would be helpful if you guys would chance me both in-state and out-of-state.</p>

<p>One last concern is that will my class rank fall heavily if i move from Kansas to Texas?
And do MOST high schools in Texas start letting MOST of their students take AP's in junior year?</p>

<p>Thank you to everyone who posts and helps me make a decision!</p>

<p>Bump…someone please help…need to make a decision soon.</p>

<p>If you’re going to a highly competitive school in like the suburbs yes your rank will fall but it really depends which area/high school you’re going to</p>

<p>And yes most if not all Texas high schools let their students take AP tests</p>

<p>Sorry didn’t read the part about Plano West and Coppell</p>

<p>But those are super hard schools and because you only have 2 AP classes the school district will not award you a high GPA when you transfer. Your rank will not be number one in other words</p>

5

<p>Yes but will I be able to maintain top 10 percent? Because I want to go to UT. I’m going to call them tomorrow because if they start AP classes junior year, I might be able to get top 10 percent or make some classes up during summer.</p>

6

<p>I think you should be able to get in regardless of your class rank as long as you challenge yourself by taking the hardest classes.</p>

7

<p>Yes but if I get into the top 10 percent, I’ll be relieved and if my parents move to Tx just so I get a better chance and it doesn’t work…I might be dead:(.</p>

<p>Galib2011-The hard thing about these 5A schools is that because they’re so big (easily 3500+ kids) GPA might be counted differently. My school goes on a scale of six. I know some schools that go out of a 7. In fact some school disticts have it so that 1 point difference on an average will be a .1 difference on GPA.</p>

<p>It’s difficult to tell if you can stay in the top 10% because each school district sets up its own system.</p>

<p>Thanks for info. But my chances to UT go up quite a bit if I go in state right?</p>
