Do I have a chance at UT Austin?

<p>Hi everyone, I am a texas resident who is not automatically admitted.</p>

<p>Rank: 64/458 (I know it's not great. Puts me at around top 12%)
GPA: 4.69 weighted, 3.67 ish UW
SAT: 720 cr 570 m 650 w (1940 total)
ACT: 29 </p>

<p>Extra curriculars include NHS, HOSA officer, marching band, band leadership position, PALS (service class), dance, Girl Scout for 10 years, earned the gold award, lots of volunteering.
Essays are pretty average I think.
I sent in a letter of rec as well. </p>

<p>I applied in late August because I heard the earlier you apply the better.
I am applying to the college of education. </p>

<p>If anyone could let me know what they think that would be great!! Thanks! Also, when do they start releasing decisions for the review applicants??</p>

<p>First, are you scores in middle 50% of SAT/ACT of UT austin?
Second, are you gonna apply to other schools?
You definitely needs work in math section. Also, tell us your sectional scores in ACT.
Average essay? Make it your best! Essay is so important, I am always surprised how kids write boring and inconclusive essays, even very smart kids make such a horrible mistake. Don’t make such mistake.</p>

<p>Yes, earlier you apply. better.</p>

<p>What is your major?
What about APs?
what about subject tests?’
Also, how good your EC is depends on how resourceful your town/school is. TBH, your EC looks pretty average.
Also, ask admission office to know when they release the decision.
PM me if you have a question or just leave it</p>

<p>GOOD LUCK!</p>

<p>Yes, my scores are in the mid 50% range, but I’ve heard that when it comes to holistic review applicants, you can still get denied even if your scores are decent!
Yes, I have applied to several other schools in texas as well as LSU.
ACT scores were 33 English, 26 math, 35 reading, 24 science.
My major is EC-6 general education.
I took AP English Lang last year and scored a 5 on that exam. This year I am taking AP English Lit, AP calc AB, AP environmental science, AP psychology and AP government/Econ.
I did not take any subject tests because UT admissions told me they did not consider them.</p>

<p>Thank you for your reply!!</p>
