<p>Chances for getting into McCombs </p>
<p>Instate
SAT (Cr + M) = 1300
Class Rank = Top 7% (1367 students)</p>
<p>Good ECs and Good Essays</p>
<p>What should I work on to increase my chances?</p>
<p>your SAT makes you doubtful.</p>
<p>if you ECs/essays are good/great then you have a shot.</p>
<p>I remember reading that the school of business pretty much just takes top 3% and everything else besides rank is irrelvent.</p>
<p>True fact.</p>
<p>so I should just work on my ECs and Essays and try make them as best as possible?</p>
<p>Not going to happen.</p>
<p>lol
u wanna expand more on that foxshox?</p>
<p>Your not in the top 5% of the your class, and your SAT is not on par with the business school, much less the non-top 5% of the class people in the business school. To be perfectly honest, for McCombs, unless you run your own profitable business already, your ECs probably won't be that big of a deal.</p>
<p>OHHH...thx for that input.</p>
<p>If you get your SAT above 1420, you might have a chance. But lets face it, I couldn't even raise my SAT 10 points(mostly because I didn't care that much), so I recommend that if your better at math and science, try going for the ACT. It is much easier to do better on the ACT, because they are not out to trick you as much. I think I could have gotten a 33(rather than a 32) had I prepared for it more than a week in advance. And if you get down their style of asking science questions, it can be very easily mastered.</p>
<p>aight, I will def do that.</p>
<p>UT does not look at the science section of the ACT.</p>
<p>But I believe the official policy of McCombs is that 80% of admitted students are chosen entirely based on class rank. The cutoff here is the top 3%. The rest are chosen based on rank and SAT and extracurriculars and ECs, based on the formula posted online (you can search around for the "top ten reports" and the formula should be on there). On this formula, a combination of SAT/ACT scores and class rank is compared on a graph against your ECs (4/7 of your "personal achievement index") and essays (3/7 of the total).</p>
<p>Unless you significantly increase your SAT or rank, or have stellar ECs, it's not likely you will be admitted to McCombs. You will be admitted to Liberal Arts and it won't be particularly difficult to get a high enough GPA to transfer in after your freshman year.</p>
<p>Huh?.. I thought the ACT people just send over the composite score.. I wouldn't have gotten a 32 without Science, and they still showed a 32 on the admissions process site.</p>
<p>theloneranger, I searched for the formula u were talking about but couldn't find any lead. Can u point me to the rit direction?</p>
<p>thank you..</p>
