<p>I'm in my junior year and right now I'm looking at colleges I'd like to attend.
As the title says, what are my chances of getting in? I have a 3.4 weighted GPA as of right now, expecting that it'll go up by the end of the 2nd semester as well as other good extra--curriculurs I participate in.</p>
<p>If anyone can help me, I'd greatly appreciate it! I know there's more info I need to supply, but I honestly don't feel like doing that if no one will respond lol</p>
<p>We are Oos and my daughter was just admitted. 3.8 unweighted and 4.5 weighted, 33 ACT and captain of her Spring sport. Waiting to hear from other schools first before deciding. Good luck</p>
<p>Honestly, the chances are slim. I had a 3.85uw/4.52w, a 2300 sat, and five 5s on ap exams with plenty of ECs and didn’t get in… If you apply to a specific school and show a lot of commitment and success in that area, like business, you would be more likely to get in</p>
<p>it really depends a lot on what school within UT you apply to.</p>
<p>MD girl Wow great stats I am stunned you were excluded. It doesn’t make a lot of sense from what we have seen. I hope you found someplace good to go.</p>
<p>I looked at the undergrad & nursing program, would that help me any better?</p>
<p>the nursing program is very competitive, make sure to shoot for high test scores and try to raise your GPA.</p>
<p>Almost no chance… no offense
3.4 is awful
Class rank is the most important thing… then SAT M+CR and EC’s…
But 3.4 will almost disqualify you on the spot if you aren’t a minority or president of everything at your school…
Look at other schools…
sorry</p>
<p>i got accepted this year with a 4.0 weighted and a 30 on my act and I’m OOS</p>
<p>I was just accepted to the COLA with a 3.0 unweighted gpa. I’d describe myself as caucasian, hispanic if I was looking for a URM hook, and I was nowhere near class president. Waiting to hear back from Plan II.</p>
<p>A student’s GPA is a number. Context is what matters. I like to think admissions departments agree with me (Yale’s didn’t though :P)</p>
<p>Don’t listen to anyone at all – “chance” threads are almost entirely useless, because you’re getting feedback from people who are equally unqualified to judge applications as you are.</p>
<p>I’m inclined to agree with soadquake981. Unless they’re an admissions officer (preferably for the college you’re applying to), your guess is as good as theirs.</p>
<p>My Unweighted GPA is 3.86
and my SAT was 1990
and I got 800s on both SAT II Physics and Math II C
and I was on top 5% of my class
but, I just got rejection letter…</p>
<p>My D’s stats are similiar to yours and also got rejected.
I guess you’re OOS as we are.
I heard UT is not so nice to OOS and it seems true.</p>
<p>The official statistic is that 42% of OOS applicants were accepted last year… so it’s certainly not “impossible” like some other schools.</p>
<p>^^Is it necessary to criticize UT just because OOS students were not admitted? After all UT is a state flagship and 75% of its freshman class are for in-state students whose parents have been living in Texas and paying tax. I am sure Texas graduates also face the same competition when applying a high ranking OOS flagship university.</p>
<p>It is really heart-breaking to see so many great candidates turned away, whether from OOS, international or Texas non-top 10%. </p>
<p>However, it is essential to understand the margins. By Texas statute, UT’s freshman class cannot include more than 10% non-residents! To put figures on that, the current 2011 class is composed as follows:</p>
<p>87% Texas resident
8% Non-resident = a total of 601 OOS students
4% Foreign</p>

<p>Additionally, each college has different admission needs and thus criteria, e.g., McCombs gets more apps than it knows what to do with, so compared to less popular majors, the bar for admission to a business major is extraordinarily high for every single applicant, regardless of residence and including top 10%-ers. </p>
<p>Consequently, you can’t compare results (or play the chance game) when it comes to UT admissions. Class rank and test scores, while critical, are only part of the equation. Without being inside the admissions office and having access to the non-objective parts of the applications (essays, letters of rec, resumes, special circumstances, etc.) as well as admission needs unique to each major/college, it is impossible to understand why applicant A was denied and applicant B was admitted.</p>
<p>Do any of you know how this applies to UT’s transfer admissions? Is it harder to transfer in for OOS students too? And if so, what are the typical credentials for accepted OOS transfers?</p>
<p>Great info TXArtemis! Very informative post!</p>
<p>LOL thanks for the feedback while I failed to check up on it 
I’ve realized, whether or not I get in, it doesn’t really matter so much for what I college I get into, as long as I make the best of the situation given to me.</p>
