<p>I am worrying a bunch about applying and getting accepted into mechanical engineering at UT. What are my chances?</p>
<p>Class rank: 21/468 (as of last winter, I am sure it has improved) so top 4.5% of my class
GPA: unweighted- 3.82
weighted- 4.312</p>
<p>My act comp was 26 with a math score of 25 but I am retaking it in September and plan on studying extremely hard. My sat is not very good because I do better on the ACT.</p>
<p>Extra curricular: NHS, National Art Honor Society (I am the treasurer), color guard (I am also the captain)</p>
<p>AP classes and scores:
Psychology 4
World history 2
2D art 3
US history 4
Environmental science 4
English lit 4</p>
<p>Another aspect that will show in my application is a family situation. Freshmen year my mom got into a motorcycle accident and was in the hospital for 6 months. She had a severe brain injury and is now permanently disabled. While she was in and out of all the hospitals I managed to stay in the top of my class and keep excellent grades. I believe this will help in my application to the college because it shows my ability to work hard through tough situations.</p>
