<p>Hey CC, will you chance me for UT Austin(Absolute Dream) and the following:</p>
<p>Rice(Reach I know but one of my favorite schools)
SMU(Will I get in/ any Scholarship?)
UTD(How much Scholarship)
UTArlington(How much Scholarship)
Texas ATM(How much Scholarship)</p>
<p>Essentially I have to stay in state and I am majoring in Biology. Also, I ask "how much scholarship" not to sound pretentious, but I know I can go these schools.My parents wont let my go to, say SMU, if I get a lot scholarship some where else, which I am fine with.</p>
<p>PSAT- (2012)-151; (2013)-202 Hoping for commended recognition merit because I scored in the top 4%(Top 50,000 out of almost 2 million).
SAT Score-1st Time- 2090(690CR, 740M, 660W)
2nd Time-2030(760CR, 620M, 650W)(Will only send to super scoring schools)</p>
<p>ACT Score - Will take it this week but projecting 29-32(likely the higher numbers)</p>
<p>SAT II - World Hist. 700, Math 2 700-740, US Hist 780-800 ~ I took math 2 and USH last week and this is the range in which Ive scored on practice tests. I took these because I wanted to show colleges that my 620 SAT Math was a fluke.</p>
<p>AP: World Hist(5), US Hist(probably 5), Psych(Probably 5), English Lang(4-5), Euro Hist(3-5). These are predictions once again because I took these last year and scores haven't been released.</p>
<p>Class Rigor So Far: Moderately Difficult given that my school offers several AP classes. Have taken all AP or Pre-AP except for Geometry(Big Mistake-99 in the regular class but its regular so....)</p>
<p>Classes Senior Year: AP German 4, AP Bio, AP Physics C, AP Calc AB/BC, AP English Lit, AP Gov, AP Macro, AP Spanish 5 - Literally the all the hardest classes I could have taken mostly for class rigor purposes. I am also self studying the following classes and taking the AP exams for them : AP Physics 1 & 2, AP Env, AP Human Geo, AP Micro, AP Stats, and AP Comp Gov. Total of 21 exams.(Just to have for credit hours and to incorporate in my essay and get AP national scholar).</p>
<p>GPA: 3.4UW and 4.4 W(I think?)
Rank : top 12%-so close to auto but so far away in a school of 700+.</p>
<p>** I should note that after freshman year, my UWGPA was a 2.5 and I was in the 53%. I worked my ass off 10th and 11th grade and got a 3.9 GPA between those years while taking difficult classes.</p>
<p>Honors\Awards: lol went to HOSA Area Competition? Won a summer basketball competition with some church friends? School A honor fall 2012-spring 2014?</p>
<p>Extracurricular:
NHS, Science NHS, Key Club, STUCO, HOSA, DECA, Church Youth Leader- bad I know especially since I have only one leadership position.</p>
<p>Volunteering: Over 150+ hours and by the time apply maybe 200+. Mostly at church/hospitals. I will also have a job all summer and all of senior year.</p>
<p>Recommendations: APUSH teacher I got a 100 in, and my PAP Pre-Cal Teacher.</p>
<p>Essay:Should be OK, will get several people to review it.</p>
<p>Others: Parents make less than 110 Grand and one sister already in college.Both parents have only gone to community college for less than 2 years.First Generation American(Asian), and 3 people out of 7( only 7 out of 50+ have been to college in my large immigrant Asian-American family)of my extended family in America have gone to UT Austin, 2 of which became doctors.</p>
<p>I will also be attending UT Honors Colloquium which should help me get in as only selected, high achieving students are invited to go.</p>
<p>P.S. I Will apply late as I am taking an additional ACT and SAT next school year and hopefully I can be in the top 10%.</p>
