Hey guys, I’m new to this site. I’m a high school junior in his second semester, of mixed Latino/Indian descent. I just wanted to now my chances of getting into UT Austin, with no major being decided upon yet. I will probably lean towards a Business major since I’ve heard that UT has a great Business Honors program, but I’m not sure yet. Here are my credentials:
GPA - between 5.4 - 5.5, my school does it o a six-point weighted scale
Class Rank - Unsure as of now, since my school has not displayed ranks in while. Should definitely be under the top 12%, not sure if in top 7% though, as my school is very competitive.
SAT Scores - Composite - 2090, Math - 780, CR - 670, Writing - 640 (only one taken, no plans for new SAT)
PSAT - Composite - 1380, Math - 720, Reading/Writing - 660, SI - 204 (50/50 chance of National Merit Semifinalist, but definitely at least commended)
Extracurriculars - Not much here, but I am in NHS, and should have 30+ volunteer hours by the time of my application
Work Experience - held an internship at a business journalism website for a couple months
That’s all I can think of right now. I will have taken or be enrolled in 11 AP classes at the time of the application, if that’s of any value. My grades in my freshman/sophomore years were a mix of A’s and B’s, but I really buckled down this year and have earned all A’s in 7 classes that are AP or Honors. Let me know what you think my chances are of getting in (% preferred), or if you have any ideas about what I should do in the time I have left.
