<p>What are my chances. I am out of state and i have a 3.1 with a 25 on the ACT. I come from a very competative HS</p>
<p>No one cares if you come from a competitive high school. It doesn't fit into UT's formula.</p>
<p>You also have not given a class rank. UT does not use GPA, they use rank to determine admission.</p>
<p>Your ACT score is also on the low end for any admitted student, but particularly for out of state. The average SAT for OOS is a 1300, so about a 29-30 on the ACT.</p>
<p>If you are a junior applying next year, you will need very strong extracurriculars and essays. You will also want to pull the ACT up to at least a 29 to have a good shot, and you need a class rank in the top 10%.</p>
<p>If you are a senior, then sorry, you have no chance. This year's OOS pool is going to be the toughest ever and you simply don't have the marks to get in at a school where the primary admission method is based on plugging your numbers into a formula. Should you somehow rank at the very top of your class, that could impact things a bit.</p>
<p>my school doenst rank and yes i am a junior. I have pretty strong extracurriculars.</p>
<p>Bring up your test scores. Bring up your GPA - since your school doesn't rank.</p>
<p>Right now, realistically speaking you're probably looking at a rejection.</p>
<p>You got a lot of work to do before applying this coming fall.</p>
