<p>Hello, high school junior here.
I'm set on a Computer Science major in the CNS. As of the beginning of this year, my rank is 20/1400 (5A school...), probably dropping to 40/1400 this year due to how my CompSci class is weighted (4.5 instead of 5.0, ugh). Although the automatic admission policy guarantees admission and yada yada, UTA will obviously be swarmed with tens of thousands of applications across all departments. What bothers me is how I must stand out against (estimation) 40,000 other top tens and probably 10,000 others. Any recommendations on what to do this year to improve my chances of getting into the CNS department?</p>
<p>I’m guessing you go to either Plano Senior or West, in either case you will probably get in because you are top 2 percent and go to a Plano school, which they probably take into consideration as Plano schools are among the best if not the best schools in Texas.</p>

Neither of those are 5A (They are now 6A)</p>
