<p>I'm currently a Junior in a high school of about 340 students within the Junior class. At the end of the first semester of my Junior year, I ranked 38 making me top 11%. I've recently attended a session at UT with information about admission into the school. It's my understanding that the college allows automatic acceptance to students that are at least top 8%. Currently, I plan on applying to be a Communication Major first with a second choice of Liberal Arts. Will this mean that I will most likely not be accepted into the school? I'm currently taking SAT classes and will be taking both the SAT and ACT tests in June. I understand that these also play a benefactor when applying. Also, I'm greatly involved within the student body and community: Key Club, Student body class president, Reporter for the school show choir, Spanish Club, National Honor Society, All Region Choir and Texas State Solo & Ensemble, plenty of service hours, active member within my church youth group, etc. This year I have taken 6 AP courses, 3 of which I am co-enrolled: English III Pre-AP, U.S. History AP, and Pre-Calculus Pre-AP. Luckily, I have this last semester of my Junior year to hopefully make all A's to bump my GPA and ultimately increase my rank. Assuming I do this with all the other factors I mentioned, will I be able to be accepted into UT?</p>
<p>Honestly you chances are good enough because you want to major in communication. Your EC’s are perfect for what you want to major in. But the only thing that will affect you chances is your rank because the number of students in your school is just 340 juniors in total. Usually UT considers 8% in a school with about 600 students approx. So that might have a mere decrease in your chances. Even I am currently a Junior and I as well am looking to get into UT for Aeronautical Engineering, but UT excepts top 2% for Automatic Admission in engineering. My friend applied who is currently a senior holding rank 21 which is the top 4% out of 636 students and 2100 SAT. He wanted to major in Biomedical Engineering and unfortunately got rejected >.<
But Good Luck :)</p>
