<p>A Rank 200 out of 600 (33 percentile) is low. Your ACT/SAT does NOT make up for it as you are competing VS 249 other people who probably have a much higher rank and SAT. UT admissions has so much to do with numbers. Your ECS are ok.</p>

<p>Reject: McCombs
Match: LAS</p>

<p>If I get into LAS but not McCombs, how hard is it to transfer into McCombs? What would I need to do?</p>
