I did a bunch of community service for the clubs I was in and I'm working at a plastic surgeon's office right now.</p>

<p>I'm really really scared about the whole top 10 thing screwing me over...and my sat is pretty bad (standardized tests are impossible for me) but i want to go to UT soo badly...i slacked off big time my fresh and soph year, but I'm hoping that they notice my grades improving drastically my junior and senior year...do u guys think i will get into one of the majors that i wanted?</p>

<p>my guess is that you will be offered the CAP program</p>

3

<p>if i retook the SAT or took the ACT and made a good score would that help a lot or am i too screwed?</p>

4

<p>bump her question, I wanna know I'm in a simliar boat (except like a 30 ACT)</p>

5

<p>I think the system is bogus, but its mandated by law to admit top10% students into at least the liberal arts sector first.</p>

<p>If anything the people outside of top10% are bumping heads with other highly qualified applicants.</p>

<p>hmm... I would really focus on raising your SATs and writing a fine essay. You might be able to get in and have to do the summer semester (thats what they made me do anyway -- I was top 20% and had a 1350 SAT score)</p>
