<p>Hi, I'm new on here and I'm really anxious about whether or not I can get into UT. I have okay-ish grades/test scores and a lot of extenuating circumstances.</p>
<p>My overall GPA is a 4.2/5 but I got a 3.5 freshman year which really drags it down.
My ACT is a 32 and SAT 2070
-I'm pretty sure that's like low/average for UT but I'm not sure because naviance only has one previous applicant from my school. I'm out of state.</p>
<p>For extenuating circumstances, freshman year I had a lot of trouble at home because my parents were contemplating divorce and moving in/out constantly. Also, a lot of my friends were getting into drugs and trashing me for trying to stop them until I finally gave up.
I have no extra curriculars because my grandma fell sick at the beginning of the year and I was the one responsible for watching over her because my parents didn't feel like spending the money to hire a nurse even though they could afford it.
I also didn't start taking AP courses until this year because I was physically abused for an A- or lower in any of my classes.
^^All of this was mentioned in my essay C and counselor recommendation.</p>
<p>I would be so grateful if anybody who knows more about the UT admission process could chance me on this because UT is one of my top choices. Thanks in advance.</p>
