<p>I just want to see what stats (namely SAT/ACT scores and Class Rank) it took to get into the College of Natural Sciences at UT or what stats it took to be denied. I mean was it just “hard to get into”? I do not really know why I am doing this, but maybe I might feel a little better about not getting what I wanted. I was offered CAP and I am not sure if I want to do that.
SAT: 1950
Class Rank: 16% (Unfortunately, I went to a really completive high school; not like that matters to UT)
NHS for two years
Orchestra for four years
AP Scholar (doubt that meant anything)
Took every honors (PreAP and AP) class I could have taken
This year: AP Lit, AP Eco, AP Gov, AP Stats, AP Calculus AB, PreAP French III, Orchestra
