Chances of getting into UT?

Colleges and Universities A-Z The University of Texas at Austin

<p>My class rank is 31 out of 331( Just barely shy of being in the automatic top 9% admissions). I scored an 1840 on my SAT. 720 math, 600 critical reading, 520 writing. I am taking the SAT again in October to hopefully raise my reading and writing scores. I am trying to get into the jackson school of geosciences at UT. What do you guys think my chances are? I am just so anxious to see if I will get in. I am nervous about it because I only took 2 years of foreign language ( UT recommends 3), I'm not in the National honor society, and I have a small amount of volunteer hours. I'm sports editor and in math, writing, and key club. Thanks</p>

<p>Anything??</p>

<p>Are you a resident of Texas? If so you should probably get in based on your current SAT scores.</p>

<p>Yes I am. Thanks for replying</p>

<p>Is only taking 2 years of a foreign language a big deal? My friends were telling me it was</p>

<p>Only taking two years of a foreign language is probably not a huge deal. Really, class rank is the ultimate decider but if you are out of top 8% but have awesome SAT scores it really helps (depending on which school within UT you want to go to)</p>

<p>Alright thanks for replying</p>

<p>Don’t worry about it, you seem to have a good chance.</p>

<p>Thanks I definitely feel a little better about it now. Sorry I’m asking so many questions but how long should it take to get a decision? My application was complete Sept. 22. I’ve been told it takes 2 weeks or so for automatic admits and I’m just one spot away from being in the top 9%, so what do yall think?</p>

<p>Does your transcript to UT provide an exact rank or as a percentage?</p>

<p>Lot of people wait three months to find out. So chill.</p>

<p>It gives my exact rank</p>

<p>@longhorn12; Unfortunately, your class rank is outside the 9% cutoff, so you will not be offered automatic admission. Automatic admission is offered within a day of UT receiving your completed file as the computer determines your % rank and offers UT admission accordingly.</p>

<p>That doesn’t mean you won’t be admitted; your application will just go through the holistic review process for both university admission and for your desired major.</p>
