<p>Hey.
I had thought it was like impossible to get into UT from out of state, but my friend just got accepted so it has revived my interest. </p>

<p>please evaulate my chances at UT</p>

<p>SAT: 740 Math, 640 Reading, 670 Writing (2050 total, or 1380 math+reading)</p>

<p>SAT II: Math II: 690, Physics: 620</p>

<p>GPA: 3.44 weighted, I had a low soph year. junior year gpa was 3.8 and senior year so far is 4.2</p>

<p>ive taken medium/hard courseload, 3 APs this year.</p>

<p>1 year soccer, badminton, kickboxing each</p>

<p>vice president of Interact
founder and president of computer club
member of CSF
member of math club</p>

<p>School doesn't rank</p>

<p>I'm a white californian male.</p>

<p>I don't know what major to apply as.</p>

<p>Really good shot...but why bother? California has better public schools.</p>

3

<p>It has Berkeley, that's really it. And getting into Berekeley is harder than getting into UT.</p>

4

<p>^You've got to be kidding. Berkeley, UCLA, UCSD, UC-Irvine, UC-Santa Barbara and UC-Davis are all ranked higher by USNWR than UT-Austin. And half the price for the OP.</p>

5

<p>Ok. It has UC, better?</p>

6

<p>Well you said "Berkeley that's it" when in fact California has 6 higher ranked public schools.</p>

7

<p>Its the UC system. There are different campuses. Your statement is sort of misleading.</p>

8

<p>They are different in many ways though...they are considered different institutions, even if it's the same tax dollars. Just like there's no comparing UVA and William & Mary...just completely different.</p>

9

<p>haha, you guys/girls crack me up.</p>

<p>so do you really think i can get in?</p>

<p>are different majors impacted differently? I think construction looks interesting, I think that would be in architecture.</p>

<p>and i really want change. yes the UCs are here but thats just it. theyre HERE. i've lived here forever and id really like to get the heck away :)</p>

<p>also, because i will be applying at the tail end of the application season, does that mean my chances are lower?</p>

<p>thanks.</p>

<p>Your gpa is kind of low, but sometimes people you would never expect to get in to UT get in. You have a chance. If I were you I would apply no matter what anyone else says. I wish that I would have applied to a UC school, but I never got around to it.</p>
