Chances of getting into UT?

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

<p>Could someone give me a "guesstimate" regarding my chances of getting into UT? I am a rising senior and will be applying this fall.</p>

<p>I am instate and the reason I am freaking out is because I am on the very edge of being in the top 7%, aka automatic acceptance. I won't know my official rank until August.</p>

<p>GPA- 3.98 on a 4.0 scale. 96.14 on a 100 point scale. I don't know what it would be on a 5.0 scale
Rank- WAS 15/230 (6.5%) but I didn't have the best final exam grades so it could slip a bit. Probably no more than 3 spots max though (praying it won't) If it dropped 3 spots it would put me at 18/230 (7.8%) So on the very edge!</p>

<p>SAT- 1820/2400 (I know..not great AT ALL. This is why I need to stay in top 7%) </p>

<p>AP Scores- Have not received them yet, but I don't think that has anything to do with admission. I have taken AP English Language and AP U.S. History (and am taking 4 more this year, but that's after I have already applied) Every other class is Pre-AP as opposed to regular.</p>

<p>Lots of community service, including serving dinner at a homeless shelter once a month, teacher's assistant once a week (Sunday school), tutoring kindergarteners once a week, and tons of other random things that are not as "regular"</p>

<p>Freshman Class Student Council Representative, Secretary of Student Council (Soph. year), Junior Class Student Council Representative, Senior Class Council Representative</p>

<p>Communications Vice President (2011-12), Religious and Cultural Vice President (2012-13) President (2013-14) of my youth group</p>

<p>Student of the Year Freshman and Sophomore year</p>

<p>Member of National Honor Society
Member of International Thespian Society (don't think they care though)
Member of Jewish Student Union at school
Member of Communications Committee at school (gives tours to prospective students and parents)</p>

<p>lots of school theatre and community theatre (don't know if this matters either)</p>

<p>Is this enough information? Thank you for your time! Again, I am so stressed about the whole class rank/ low SAT thing</p>

<p>Even if you do fall out of the top 7% your class rank and GPA will really help in the holistic review. Your SAT is a bit low and retaking and taking the ACT may help.</p>

<p>You’ll make it, everything fits and the extra curriculars will push you through any hesitation that they admissions committee throws at you.</p>

<p>Thank you both!</p>

<p>Find out your rank soon because an almost 7% rank is not going to help much in holistic review. Rank trumps all in auto admit so it doesn’t get a boost in holisic review.</p>

<p>Rank is very important in the holistic review. It is listed as very important in their common data set and their formula for admission uses it. I think you will be fine abk1996.</p>
