<p>Hi. Im currently a male senior from CT (fairly competitive public high school in one of the rich counties) Im curious as to what you think my chances are.</p>

<p>GPA- UW – 3.4 W – 3.7 (low, I kno, but GC wrote about how junior year I missed almost a month of school whilst in 4 ap and 3 honors classes with shingles+surgery which is y my gpa isn’t as high as it could be)</p>

<p>School doesn’t rank...</p>

<p>Frosh and soph years u can only take 2 honors classes, which I did and from there on I have one of the most demanding courseloads</p>

<p>Im Asian… Thai Laotian Chinese Indian</p>

Math - 730
Writing - 680
CR – 660</p>

<p>SAT 2
MATH1-720

<p>Teacher recs - i read one of them who said i was one of the best she had had in 17 years of teaching and that while i was a junior in a class meant for seniors i emerged the leader and made evereyone else around me perform better... the second one that i sent i didn’t read becuase the teacher doesnt allow it but i asked my GC if i had to send one which would i send and he said it was a tossup... so it must’ve been very good</p>

<p>My essays were actually fairly good... writing is kinda my thing</p>

<p>i got a
5 on the AP English Lang
4 on AP US Hist
4 on AP Psych (self study)
3 on AP Govt (self study)</p>

<p>the thing that im hoping to make up for my gpa are my pretty good ecs...</p>

<p>your stats sound suprisingly similar to mine...im a current freshman at UT. i got in but not my first choice major, which was business. im currently in liberal arts. your sats are high so im pretty sure u have a good shot. im fairly certain you will get in</p>

3

<p>Those are great stats, but I got turned down in state with a 2100 SAT, so definitely look at other schools too.</p>

4

<p>you seem alright</p>

<p>Kind of curious. Isn't a Major more important than the school or are you planning to transfer to your desired major later?</p>

6

<p>bump...</p>

<p>and can nebody tell me about plan 2 and how much more selective they are in the admissions? are they rolling? would i have ne shot at plan 2?</p>

7

<p>my SAT just went up </p>

<p>CR - 720
M-730
W-680 (11 essay)</p>

<p>how much better of a chance does that give me... and as im out of state, does it matter when i apply as long as i apply by feb1</p>

8

<p>UT doesn't consider the writing score, so you've got a great SAT but I can't say how much that will affect your admissions.</p>

9

<p>You will get in without financial aid.</p>
