Hello! I am a very anxious senior and very nervous thinking about college applications. UT Austin is my dream school but I don’t know if I am their dream candidate to attend. I am a hard working student and will be the captain of 2 teams next year at my school, I will also be a representative for one of the programs at my school next year as well. I am apart of the Magnet program and have taken multiple AP classes. My GPA is a 3.8/4.0. I have also done a lot of community service with my church and have 2 internships currently. I am a very hardworking student but I am not a very good test taker I get a lot of anxiety and stress myself out, I have scored 1100 on my SAT and a 23 on my ACT. I plan on retaking my SAT in August and hope to get a better score. I have also won 2 scholarships for Math and an individual leadership award. However, I feel as if my test scores are going to bring my application down. Please be honest and tell me the reality of my chances of getting in.
