<p>Hi! I am currently an 11th grader in CA, and UT is my dream school. Im ranked number 2 in my class of 500. I have a 4.0 unweighted GPA and scored a 1900 on my SAT when i took it a couple of weeks ago, but i plan on taking it again, and getting no less than a 2000. I took all AP/HP classes throughout high school, and am involved in several different I plan on applying Pre-Law. Im really worried about not being accepted because of Texas's Top 8% Law! Please let me know what you think! </p>
<p>Being 2nd is a big deal and your scores are good enough for top schools. Don’t worry about ut you’ll get in </p>
<p>All we can say is apply and see what happens. The auto admit rule is for Texas residents. Texas residents who are in the top 7% are automatically admitted to UT. That fills a good 75% of the slots, leaving not that many places for holistic admits from Texas and elsewhere. </p>
<p>Improve your SAT score and write good essays. Show why you would be a great asset to UT.</p>
<p>Apply for law and second major pick undecided just in case. It is the easiest to get into </p>
<p>i <em>think</em> you’ll be mostly fine in regards to the acceptance.
However, as an out-of-stater, how are you going to pay for the school?</p>
<p>^ i agree with the tuition i don’t think its worth the cost when berkley is cheap as hell to you. </p>
<p>plus you want to do pre-law which means you want to go to law school which on average will cost 100k+ , so i wouldn’t recommend paying the extra out of state tuition for UT when Berkley which is ranked higher is cheaper to you and you want to go to law school</p>
<p>@135pipe is it easier to be accepted by applying undecided? </p>
<p>Absolutely that’s why my second appeal was granted to undeclared</p>

Indeed. OP has some of the best public schools in his state, and they’re all cheaper than UT Austin OOS by 17 grand per year or more.</p>
<p>your second appeal? Did you appeal twice?</p>
