I’d say right now you’re at about 50-50 for admissions. Your chances would be a lot better if you could snag that 33-34 though.

thank you!! and yes I am aiming for that 33-34 :slight_smile:

@utaustinlover Composite won’t matter as much for admission to McCombs as what your math score section was.
What was your math score in both the SAT and ACT? Same with critical reading for the SAT and your combined essay and english score for the ACT.

@TheAvidSeeker 700 math, 650 reading and writing combined (new scale) Essay: 21/24
Right now I have been getting 34/35 in math and 33/34 in reading (i have not taken it yet)

New SAT scores are believed to be inflated slightly since there was no guessing penalty and only four answer choices. You should be good though because you have good extra Curriculars and leadership positions

7

@TheAvidSeeker alright thank you!

8

you should also check out the business honors program (BHP) at McCombs. Average ACT to get in is rather high however (34)

With a 33-34, McCombs is almost a safety.
But you should be fine even with a 32

Chance back!

@DurejaVu McCombs is never a safety is you are out of state.

@NeilMo thank you!!!

12

@DurejaVu yay sweet thank you!

13

@TheAvidSeeker I am in state

@danfer91 If she had a 33 on ACT, what would you say admission chances would be for her. Also, why do you say she has a 50/50 shot? Given her rank/auto admit status, isn’t it a shoo in for her? Plus she has good extra curriculars.

15

@TheAvidSeeker i just got my ACT results and I got a 31…what do you think about my chances now? I also got auto admission into UT recently

16

It’s a match. The top 3% will help a lot.

Honestly McCombs is almost never a safety even for in state students.

17

@utaustinlover what are your sub scores and what did you get on essay

@TheAvidSeeker 35- E 30-M 30-R 28-S and a 10 on the essay
