<p>I doubt you can get into McCombs strictly based on your rank. Even though your highschool doesn't officially rank, UT will rank you based on the information provided by your school. </p>

<p>Rank is king at UT, especially McCombs. The way the class is filled is: with Texas kids starting at 1% and going down until they reach 75% capacity, usually around 3-4%, so kids who are top 10%, but around 7% or so have very little chance of getting in; then, the remaining 25% is done holistically with international, oos and some highly qualified instate. </p>

<p>But, I will say that if you get in under general studies or liberal arts, it is not difficult to make good grades as a freshman and transfer into McCombs as a sophomore. My son has MANY friends who did that this year. You just have to take care of business and make good grades.</p>

<p>Sorry ;( you wanted brutally honest though.</p>

<p>I am pretty sure nope. People instate can't get in with stats like that.</p>
