<p>Hi,</p>

<p>Just wondering if I would have a decent shot at getting admitted into the CS program at Texas as well the Turing scholar program. I feel that my UW GPA may be a little low...Would appreciate any opinions.</p>

Chem - 800
Math2 - 780
US His - 800
Math1 - 800
Physics - 740
AP Scores:</p>

<p>USAP - 5
Chem - 5
Eng Comp - 5
Euro - 5
World H - 4
Calc BC - 4</p>

<p>All honors/AP classes.. Taking 10 AP classes next year.</p>

<p>EC's:</p>

<p>Football( 2 years)
Basketball (1 year)
Science Olympiad (1 year)
Math team ( 1 year)
Scholastic Bowl (1 year)</p>

<p>Basically played sports frosh/soph year then went to more academic activities.</p>

<p>Community Service:</p>

<ul>
<li>Volunteered about 200 hours at the local food pantry over last 3 years

<p>If you’re from Texas then your an auto admit plus you have good test scores/ clubs and stuff! So yah you’ll get in</p>

<p>CS does this weird thing where you enter as “pre-CS” until you complete the intro classes, so admissions to that isn’t much of a worry. Turing Scholars, on the other hand, is a pretty exclusive honors program that requires a pretty astounding application. You seem to be most of the way there, but your GPA/rank are on the low side. I’d say that you have a great chance of getting in, but it would be silly to call it 100%. In any case, it is possible to transfer into Turing Scholars later on so an initial rejection is not the end of the road.</p>
